Greetings Primary Families,

It's hard to believe that we are into the month of February already. Winter is hitting us hard with subzero cold and snow. Mott street has been getting very congested with before and after school traffic. The snowbanks have created a much narrower road. For safety reasons, please slow down and pay close attention when dropping off students at school. Students should be dropped off on the sidewalk side of the street only!



Students earned an all school reward and attended the Mariner Theater this month. They are well on there way to earning their next school reward. We are hoping to go bowling. I hope you all have a wonderful month of February. Stay warm.
