🌱 Learning in Action! 🌱
Our Grade 5/6 students from Mrs. Leitch and Mme. Saunders' class rolled up their sleeves today and took on a schoolyard clean‑up — and what an impact they made! From collecting litter to sorting recyclables, they showed real leadership and pride in caring for their environment.
This activity connects directly to the Ontario curriculum, where students learn about environmental responsibility, citizenship, and caring for the spaces we share.
By stepping outside the classroom and into their own schoolyard, students had the chance to apply what they’ve been learning in a meaningful, real‑world way. Their hard work today helps keep our shared spaces clean, safe, and welcoming for everyone.
We’re proud of their teamwork, responsibility, and commitment to making a difference. 🌎💚
Great job, Grade 5/6!
🍎 It’s Big Crunch Day! 🍎
Today our students joined thousands across Ontario in taking a loud, proud CRUNCH to celebrate healthy eating and support the incredible work of Ontario’s Student Nutrition Program.
We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to the Ontario Student Nutrition Program for their ongoing commitment to nourishing students across the province. Your support helps ensure every child has the fuel they need to learn, grow, and thrive.
A big thank you as well to the President’s Choice Children’s Charity – Power Full Kids™ program for helping make nutritious food accessible in our school community. Your generosity makes a real difference in the lives of our students.
In true Big Crunch spirit, a few of our students even lost baby teeth during today’s celebration — talk about a memorable crunch! 😄🦷
Here’s to healthy habits, full bellies, and one very crunchy celebration! 🍏✨
Flower orders are still available for another few days. 🌺 🌼
🧦💙 Rock Your Socks for World Down Syndrome Day! 💛🧦
Our halls were bursting with colour today as our students proudly rocked their socks in celebration of World Down Syndrome Day! Although the official date was March 21, we brought the joy to school today so everyone could take part together.
This celebration is more than fun socks—it’s a reminder of the beauty of inclusion, the power of kindness, and the importance of embracing what makes each of us unique. Our students showed that spirit brilliantly.
Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make today meaningful and full of smiles. Days like this show what an incredible community we have.
🧵 Over the past couple of weeks, Miss Leanne has been spending lunch hours with a number of students, putting our new sewing machines to use and creating these awesome jean bags! 👖👜
We love seeing their creativity in action!
Our young engineers in Mrs. Jeansonne’s 4/5 put their knowledge of tension and compression to the test by constructing trusses and bridges, both through the Adopt a Scientist program as well as using K’Nex. The projects challenged students to use shapes like triangles to build a structure capable of supporting a heavy load.
This morning, Miss Armstrong’s classroom transformed into a bustling marketplace! 💵🛍️🛒
Students have been working hard to prepare for today’s Store Day. They used the skills they’ve been learning in calculating cost/change and persuasive writing to sell their invented products to each other. It was a big success!
We had a blast stepping back in time for Retro Day today! 🕺📼
Students and staff showed off their retro style with everything from bright neon and leg warmers to vintage band tees and classic throwback looks. It was fantastic to see so many creative outfits and so much school spirit throughout the halls. 📻

💗 Pink Shirt Day at Our School! 💗
Today our halls were filled with PINK as students proudly showed their support for kindness, inclusion, and standing up against bullying. From bright hoodies to subtle pink accessories, it was amazing to see our school community come together with such an important message — we choose kindness.
We are so proud of our students for not only wearing pink, but for living out what it represents each and every day. 💕 #PinkShirtDay #ChooseKindness

Can a student- built truss hold 5 gallons of water? Mrs. Moran's grade 5/6 engineers-in-the making found out!
The class put their designs to the test while learning the science of Newtons and how tension and compression work on structural designs. There was some serious "bridge building" skills on display today!
A reminder that pizza kits are being delivered on Monday. 🍕
SJM is cheering on Canada as they fight for gold! 🇨🇦 🍁 🏒
