Dear Parents and Guardians, December 5, 2014 December is here and we have had our first snowfall!!! Please make sure your child is dressed for the weather. This is a busy month full of activities so please read this newsletter carefully as it contains important information for the month. Our new water fountain and water bottle filling station has been installed in the main hall. The second one will be installed in the upper hallway next week. All students have been given a water bottle with their name written on them. Thank you to Ridley Terminals, The Port of Prince Rupert and the Prince Rupert Community Foundation for making this project possible. Students are very excited to have their bottles and tell us that the water is “way better”! I am not sure how this is possible, but we are happy as water is great for all of us.
