It was fabulous to see so many of you at our goal setting conferences last week! We had some excellent discussions and I feel confident that we are all working together to keep our children progressing here at Wascana School!

This will be an incredibly busy week for us in Room 23! School pictures are on Monday morning, so be sure to wake up a little earlier and look your best! ;) I also want to wish our volleyball teams good luck as they both try to start their seasons 2-0 this week. Most importantly, they have been wonderful ambassadors for their school and we are extremely proud of them!

I will be out of the classroom for the entire day on Tuesday, as I am in planning meetings with Ms. Bird and Ms. Agecoutay all day. Together, we will lay out a map for our literacy and numeracy in the senior grades for this year. I am excited for the opportunity!
