September 9-13, 2024

 Hello EES families!

This week we were grateful for some sunny days and tried to spend more time outside using the last warm days for learning about end of Summer and beginning of the Fall. 

In language Arts, we were talking about things we like and learning to answer questions starting with What and Why. 

In Math, we practiced counting and started learning about number sense. Our students engaged in variety of activities on different levels including interactive games and math manipulatives.

Reminders and important dates:

September 23 - Orange Shirt Day

On Monday September 23, staff and students are encouraged to wear thier Orange Shirts.

The week will begin with a whole school assembly on Monday, September 23 where students will hear a story about the history of Orange Shirt Day.

September 25 Terry Fox Run  

MTS Terry Fox run will take place on Wednesday, September 25 at 9:00 am.

If students can, we are asking them to bring Toonies for Terry starting on Monday September 9. Our fundraising goal is $1200, which is approximately a toonie for every student and staff member in the school. 

If we reach our goal, Mr. V. has agreed to wear a tutu for a day!
