École LaVérendrye French Milieu School

Black History Month is a time for learning, reflecting, and celebrating.

For your information.

Our Koats for Kids campaign wrapped up yesterday. We are so proud of our student leadership group who organized and ran this entire event - they did such an amazing job! We have collected a multitude of winter clothing for those in need this season. Thank you to everyone who donated, we greatly appreciate your kindness and generosity.

November 11th: Remembrance Day
Every year, at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, Canadians gather in memorial parks, community halls, workplacrs, schools and homes to stand in honour of all who have fallen. Lest we forget.

November 10th: Remembrance Day Service
Families and members of the community are invited to join us at 10:40am for our Remembrance Day service. Please come to the front doors to sign in before proceeding to the gymnasium.

November 8th: National Indigenous Veterans Day
Today we recognize and acknowledge the many contributions and sacrifices of Indigenous peoples not only to Canada's war efforts but to its peacekeeping reputation. Lest we forget.

This morning we had our first smudge. It was wonderful seeing students, staff, and some parents join us. Thank you to Mme Olson for providing us with this opportunity and for sharing your teachings with us.
The grade 1s had a little extra time with Mme Olson this morning, where she went over Indigenous teachings, practice, and the importance of smudging.

Halloween at École LaVérendrye French Milieu School: Staff and students spent the day enjoying a variety of activities, including haunted house tours, a jack-o-lantern contest, a costume contest, a school read-aloud, a Halloween parade, a Halloween dance, a Halloween movie, and much, much more!
Take a look at some of our highlights.
LaV knows how to do Halloween.
From our school to your family, we wish you all a safe and fun Halloween night!

Fall into Reading: Our final 'Who Am I?'

Fall into Reading
Wednesday's 'Who Am I?': I have dreams of driving a bus - and I can be quite persistent - but no one will let me. It doesn't matter how much I beg, bribe, and throw tantrums, the answer is always "no"! Who am I?

Beyond the classroom.
Room 11 spent the day outdoors using the space, land, and materials available to engage in literacy, mathematics, science, and art. Thank you to the parent volunteers who came out to support.
