March 7
I hope that you have spent a bit of time outside today enjoying some of the sunny breaks between the showers. We expect some more of the same this week at school which will likely have us off the field as it thaws and dries up. When possible, we will continue to go outside at breaks so please ensure students come dressed for the weather.
Last week was our final session of the Crash Rhythm workshops. During the week there was a blend of drumming and recorder practicing going on as well at the Music Battle of the Decades. Don't be surprised if your child requests some additions to the family playlists at home!
Students in Ms. Pryde’s class created an initiative in support of our pursuit of Sustainable Development Goals at DCB. Yesterday and every Friday in March at 2:00, our school goes ‘lights out’ for 20 minutes where it is safe to do so.
A few staff might have needed some Voltaren this morning after answering the challenge to play against the Boys’ Volleyball team. It was a lot of fun for all and a great way to bring us together. The Girls’ team has challenged the Staff this week- time to stretch Teachers. The Girls are definitely going to bring it!!
This week will also provide us with some time to view Canada’s Paralympic teams as they demonstrate the pursuit of excellence in athletes- no matter what. We wish our teams all the best. To recognize their commitments, we will have a Spirit Day on Friday. Students might want to wear Canada gear or colours, their own team jerseys, DCB wear or come dressed in their favourite colours. Go Canada!!
