Principal’s Message – January 24th
Dear École Herbert Spencer Community!
We had hibernating Bears in our Kinder Classes Today! ….
Please see the following information, updates and reminders:
Upcoming Dates this Week:
Jan 28 Forest Family Fun (Wear your FAMILY COLOURS)
Jan 28 Elementary Collaboration Day – Dismissal at 12:05PM
Jan 30 Seeds of Leadership Afterschool Program begins
Jan 31 Papa John’s Pizza Day
Basket ball Club (Hoop Shoot)
Some of you in our community may remember the days of Hoop Shoot – I’m seriously dating myself. This was a district wide event for Intermediate Students that competed in groups of three to get as many layups as possible within a given period of time. Students practiced at individual schools for weeks and then came together to compete on Hoop Shoot Day!
Hoop Shoot (Basketball Club) is back at Herbert Spencer led by Ms Thomas and Ms Neufeld! While we aren’t at a district wide event just yet, this is a possibility in the future. Interested Students have attended a meeting at the school and the Club will begin next week. Practices are on Wednesday Mornings at 8:20 AM and Fridays at Lunch for all interested students in Grade 4 and 5.
