CELEBRATION FOR CATHY STECKO Many of you have been hearing rumours that Ms. Stecko is retiring at Christmas. She has confirmed her plans to do so and is very pleased that our staff wishes to acknowledge her contributions to our school. We will be hosting an after-school get together in the Library this Wednesday after school and we invite students and parents past and present to join us and extend their best wishes.

We have a great Christmas/Holiday Assembly lining up for Thursday, December 17th at 2:00 p.m., folks. Please plan for a good time in the gym. We're looking forward to seeing you there.

Monday, November 16th is Photo Re-Take day, everybody. Plan ahead! David

‘REMIND’ TEXT MESSAGING SERVICE We have a free text service that is ideal in a school setting and is becoming very popular. It is called ‘Remind’ and only requires parents to text a simple message to a cell number. All of the instructions are on the back of today's newsletter (check the backpack). What do you get? Complete confidentiality on your cell number, while receiving messages from me at a moment’s notice. This means I could send a reminder to the whole school co...mmunity. It means that I could notify you of an emergency in seconds. It means I could direct you to a Facebook message or an on-line newsletter right away. No cost, no photocopying and no delays. No important notice stuck at the bottom of the backpack. I ask that you take one moment to register with us and have the benefit of instant communication from your Principal. While I’m at it, I’ll provide one unusual detail. Here is my cell number 226-268-1017. Now you have me 24/7. Please use for emergencies and please text, so I can manage (and enjoy) my personal life. I’ll get back to you promptly.

Lorne Ave students and staff will be holding a Remembrance Day assembly beginning at 9:40 a.m. on Wednesday, November 11th in the gymnasium. We'll have chairs set up for parents and community members, and we would be most pleased if you could join us on this important occasion. Sincerely, David
