Dear Families,

Thank you for ensuring that students are dressed appropriately for the weather! We’ve been making the most of recess and lunch outdoors, regardless of the temperature, and the energy and enthusiasm have been wonderful to see.

Lunch Program Notes:  You can order school lunches for January 19-February 1. Deadline to order is Jan 15 at noon. Order at https://nslunch.ca  

Our Cozy Coat Exchange: the coat rack is located outside the office, and families can stop by during Excelp pick-up, drop-off, or our office hours (8:00 AM - 3:30 PM). If you're unable to come in person, our Child and Youth Practitioner, Jill Flick, can assist with fitting your student with available items. You can reach Jill at jillian.flick@hrce.ca or call 902-464-5192 and leave a message.We hope this helps make winter a little easier for everyone!

Thanks to the generosity of our students and families, we recently sent a cheque to the Cole Harbour Community Fridge, a project that provides 24-hour, low-barrier access to free food for anyone in need. This initiative allows community members to take what they need without the obligation to leave something in return, fostering a spirit of care and support in our community.

Our outdoor spaces have been bustling with activity: students building forts in the woods, basketball games on the courts, our new playgrounds filled with excitement, and full soccer matches in action. It’s heartwarming to see students from different grade levels interacting and enjoying their time together. January has truly started on a high note outside!

Wishing you a fantastic rest of the week!

Mr. Fry
