From the Office………,

…. Determined December

We are on the home stretch for 2019. The year has gone by quickly, but

it is hard to believe how the past four months of this school year has

gone by.

Thank you to all of our families who were able to come out for parent/

teacher interviews. Our staff was very busy meeting with their students’

families. We appreciate the strong, positive relationships we have with

our SWPS families.

During our PA day, our staff were involved with Math learning. Thank you

to Mme. Chronopoulos, Mrs. Spatola, Mr. Saunders, Mr. Bachmeier,

Mme. Gray and Mrs. Oliverio in planning the Math professional develop-

ment for the staff. The staff took away knowledge about 3-Part Math Les-

sons, technology and math, and Learning Centres. Lots of meaningful,

relevant learning took place.

Thank you to our community for rallying together to help one of families

whose young daughter has been diagnosed with leukemia. Mrs. Cacilhas,

Mrs. Oliverio and Mrs. Fabbro have been organizing the hot chocolate

fundraiser for the family. Another kind gesture by SWPS.

Lastly, we want to wish all of our families a very happy, restful, joyful and

peaceful holidays. Enjoy your time with your family and we will see you

Monday, January 6, 2020!

Your Partners in Education,

Ms. K. Fioret Ms. T. McDonald
