As I write this post I'm standing at my on-the-go cart watching the faces of proud parents and students coming in for there first parent teacher meetings. For a lot of our families this is a chance to reconnect with teachers they know well and for many it is their first time officially coming into our school. WELCOME! We are so lucky to welcome all of our new families to our school.  

We have had a wonderful start up, already marked by some very special events. At our start up assembly we introduced all our new students and presented them with a Belfast t-shirt so that they can really feel like citizens of Belfast! I'm sure we will remember for a long time Mr. Symington pushing Ms. El across the stage on an AV cart proving in fact that pigs can fly... sort of. 

This week we also celebrated our Terry Fox Run and raised money for cancer research. We were pumped to see so many teachers and students dressed as super heroes for the event. Buddy classes worked together to run or walk as many laps of our field as they could. Fore each lap students collected a popsicle  stick - a tangible way of showing their accomplishment and the introduction to some authentic math lessons next week. We await the count to see which buddy classes will win a popcorn party for the most laps!

Next week we look forward to our first firedrill, an author visit from Eric Walters and Orange T-shirt Day. We are also looking forward to our first School Council meeting on Wednesday night in the school library. All Belfast parents are encouraged to come to council and get involved. Belfast is a wonderful place to be!
