What a fantastic week we had, discovering more about Jesus’ miracles, exploring the Cordillera region of Canada, discussing internet safety, and identifying thick vs. thin questions for our Genius Hour Projects! I am indeed blessed with an intelligent and eager group of students!

Just a few announcements to keep you up to date:

Cross Country Meet

We welcome parents to join us in cheering on our grade 3-6 students as they compete in the annual Cross Country Meet on Wednesday, October 10th. Grades 3-4 will run the 1.5 km race while grades 5-6 will run 2 km. Students are asked to come prepared with running shoes, a GCS T-shirt, layers of clothing (in case it is cold), and sunscreen (in case it is hot!). Also students should pack a healthy snack and water bottle. We will be leaving the school at 9AM and travelling by bus to the Terry Fox Sports Complex in Cornwall. We will return to school by noon.
GO KNIGHTS GO!

PD Day – No Classes

As important as it is for your children to be learning and growing academically, so to is the case for us teachers.  On Friday, September 28th, students will not have classes as the teachers from GCS participate in a professional development day.
