Thanks to all the parents who came out to our School Council meeting last Tuesday.  It is a great place to learn about the happenings in the school, and to give input into programs and events.  Mark your calendars for our annual Winterfest Celebration happening on Saturday, December 14th from 10am to 2pm.  There are many ways to help out and get involved.  Follow the School Council Instagram and Facebook pages to learn more.  Mark your calendars…the next full council meeting is January 14, 2024 in the library.

This is the last week to order your Terra Cotta cookie mix at {https://fundraising.terracottacookies.com/current-fundraisers/spenceravenueces/} Cookies can be picked up on November 21.  All proceeds will go to support the intermediate year end trip and graduation.

This week we will be acknowledging Treaties Recognition Week.  We will learn about treaties in general and the ones that cover the area of Dufferin County.  There will be morning announcements and activities from our Indigenous Lead to support this work.

Good luck to our Junior Volleyball team who are competing in the tournament this week.

On November 11th our Junior Gifted class will be hosting two Remembrance Days assemblies.  One will be for the primaries (K-3) from 9:50am to 10:25am and a second for junior and intermediates (4-8) from 11:10am to 11:40am.  We once again invite parents to send in photos of family members who are serving or who have served in our Canadian or allied forces.  If you have sent us a picture in past years there is no need to resubmit.
