February 11th - 15th

Guo nian hao! Happy Chinese New Year! We are now officially in the year of the snake. In the Chinese zodiac, the snake represents wisdom. This should be a very good omen for us as we move ever closer to this year's Heritage Fair and Term Two report cards.

I want to congratulate Agape, Mila, and Keana for their work with the Hawrylak cheer team! This Saturday, they participated in a competition at Campbell Collegiate and placed second amongst a very large and impressive field.  Great job, girls! We are very proud of your hard work!

Monday and Tuesday will also be the last days that we will see Ms. Bergbusch in a while. She is returning to her regular university course load on Wednesday this week. We have really enjoyed working with her and can't wait to see her again in March!

Finally, I know that many of you are planning vacations in the coming weeks. Unfortunately, we do not have the February break this year, so please ensure that you have notified me so that I can prepare some materials (mainly math and social studies) that your child should take along. It is easy to fall behind, but difficult to catch up again.

Here's a glimpse of what we'll be up to this week:

Monday (Day 4) - Mrs. LaPlante here to observe Ms. Bergbusch, Phys. Ed. w/ Ms. Bechard
Tuesday (Day 5) - Ms. B's last day of block #1, Phys. Ed. in mini gym, Core French w/ Mr. Kardynal, Mrs. LaPlante here to observe Ms. Bergbusch
Wednesday (Day 1) - TUSC prep
Thursday (Day 2) - Phys. Ed. w/ Ms. Bechard
Friday (Day 3) - Core French w/ Mr. Kardynal, Arts Ed. w/ Mrs. Meredith

Please keep in mind that Family Day is Monday, February 18th, and there will be no school that day.


Can't wait! Pitchers and catchers report for Spring Training on Tuesday morning! Baseball is near!
