Hi Kindergarten families,
We spent this week learning about Remembrance Day; watching videos, listening to stories and creating art for the assembly we led with our Grade 7 Buddies. Next week, we look forward to learning about the feast of Christ the King and preparing to lead our first school Mass on the 24th! (Note the original date of Kinder Mass on the 17th has been moved).

Our image this week is from our special Show & Tell with Zachary’s dad, Will, who is in the Canadian Armed Forces. He shared with us the importance of Remembrance Day and a little about his job! Here we are with Will and the Grade 1 Class.
