A special surprise awaits 10 lucky winners who attend the performance of ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’!

That’s right…5 audience members each night will win their own Golden Ticket and a sweet surprise awaits them.

Grade 5 Family Histories

On Wednesday 12:00 to 12:45, Grade 5 students will share family histories with parents. However – we did not realise that NIC Bazaar is on tomorrow so there are a few students who won’t have parents visiting. If any teachers are free for any parts of that 45 minutes and like to visit, they will be most welcome!

Dear Teachers:

Please note that there has been a recent confirmed case of Chicken Pox (Varicella) in Middle School.
Chickenpox is a very contagious disease caused by a virus. It causes a blister-like rash, itching, tiredness and fever. It can be especially serious in babies, adults, and people with weakened immune systems. More detailed information please find https://www.cdc.gov/chickenpox/index.html

If you or anyone in your household has symptoms that look like Chicken Pox:

●  Contact your regular health care provider immediately
●  If you have Chicken Pox, stay at home until the lesions have scabbed over
●  Check to see if anyone in your home may need to be vaccinated
●  All suspected cases should be reported to me.

If you hear of any students who have Chicken Pox, please inform me immediately.

Thank you,
Ellen Zhang
