Family Literacy Day is a national awareness initiative created by ABC Life Literacy Canada in 1999 and held annually on January 27 to raise awareness of the importance of reading and engaging in other literacy-related activities as a family. More than 1.5 million Canadians have already participated in the initiative since its debut. Taking time every day to read or do a learning activity with children is crucial to a child’s development. Even just 15 minutes a day can improve a child’s literacy skills dramatically, and can help a parent improve their skills as well.
On Fri Jan 27 9:00 am to 9:30 am we invite everyone to come join us for muffin morning. Come to the school with your child, have a muffin and drink, then participate in our daily reading program. Grab a book, find a spot and read together. We can’t wait to see you!
Basketball season is here. The school is offering a basketball club program for grade six and seven boys and girls. Due to lack of other teams to play against, this “team” will be more of a club. There are very few other teams with grade 6/7 groupings so we will have only a few games this year. The focus will be on learning and improving basic basketball skills, learning how to be and play as a team, and having fun playing basketball.
The Basketball club will meet most Tuesday and Thursdays from 3:30pm to 4:30 pm. The club will run until the end of March. At all practices the 6-7’s will be expected to have proper gym shoes, sweats, or shorts, and a t-shirt. A water bottle is also a good idea.
Our game schedule so far is Tuesday Jan.24th SPS @ CKS and Mon Feb 13th CKS @ SPS
Please note that the date of the ski trip has been changed to Friday Feb 17th. Additional information will be available in the near future.
In December Holy Trinity developed A Safety Handbook for Physical Education and Extra Curricular Sports. In this document Alpine Skiing is only approved for students in grades 6 to 12. We have been given special permission that allows the grade 5 students to participate for this year only. In the future only grade 6 and 7 students will be approved to participate.
Do you have a child that is age 3-5 and are looking to enroll them into a Pre-k or K program? The week of February 27th – March 2nd is scheduled for Prekindergarten Open House in all schools. We will post our Open House date when we determine it in the near future. We look forward to seeing you then!
