Dear Families,

We had our second CREST assembly on Friday, where we celebrated our Golden Huskies who best exemplified Caring. As I shared with our students, Caring is the captain of CREST. Caring leads us to show respect, excellence, safety, and trust wholeheartedly, generously, flexibly, and coherently.

Thankfully for us, so many of our students "have a Golden Husky in their Heart"! Pictures of our winners in the next Howler.

So many exciting events coming up: Book Fair Game Night is this Friday, Grade 2 Swim is on the horizon, and even Kindergarten info night! Believe it or not, Monday will mark our 90th day - our half-way mark!

Please check out several important updates/reminders below. Have a great weekend!

Sincerely,

Dr. Paul Madden, Principal

Ms. Julie O'Boyle, Assistant Principal

Tip of the Week!

Lexia, like STMath, adapts to students' learning level and needs. Many famlies ask, "How can I support my child with Lexia at home?"
