Announcements Friday, October 9, 2020

We acknowledge that we are in Mi’kma’ki, which is the traditional ancestral territory of the Mi’kmaq people.

From Mr. Lewis:
October is Mi’kmaq History Month. The purpose is to promote public awareness about the Mi’kmaq culture and heritage to the people of Nova Scotia. Take a look around the school to see the Mi'kmaq History Month poster.

MADD online presentations today.

This is a reminder as our weather starts to turn colder that it is a good idea to bundle up and stay warm. Sweaters, heavy jackets and long pants are perfectly acceptable at this time of year. Soon, we will have sub zero temperatures and that means toques, mittens or gloves and boots on many days. It is good to start thinking about this now and to prepare for times when we will need to continue to be outside especially at lunch hour.

From Ms. McKay:
Next week we will be having our first Spirit Week of the year at Ellenvale!! Get into the spirit and celebrate a successful return to school with a theme each day - there will be individual and homeroom prizes given out for participation!!!
