Mary Queen of Peace News

We are delighted to announce that the students from our Grade 6 English classes: Mme Burton Snow, Mr. Power and Mr. Taylor will be performing at our upcoming Chapter’s Night on Monday, November 5th beginning at 7:00pm: We have been doing this event for the past 5 years and it always has been very well attended. It is a fabulous way to bring the school and our community together. All funds raised from this event goes directly towards the purchasing of literature/resources for our LRC and classes. Each year we select a different choir to perform with the hopes that all classes will eventually have a turn. This year we are so happy to showcase our Grade 6 English classes. Our new Music teacher Ms. McDonald has been working really hard to prepare these children for this performance. This is part of the music program and the expectation is that all students please make a special effort to attend. If there is a reason your child cannot attend please communicate this to the child’s homero

Don't forget, due to a teacher professional learning day on October 30th, there will be no school for students. School will resume on Wednesday, October 31st, which will include Halloween Festivities!

This Friday is October's Ice Cream Day! The treat is a fudgestick, so make sure you bring in a dollar and purchase a tasty treat to support the PTSG (Parent Teacher Support Group).

For parents of whose children who are registered in Chess Club, please contact Christina Kennedy at ckennedy@nape.ca if your child is interested in attending the extra weekly afterschool session which are on Thursdays from 2:30-4:00pm.  This session is only for those children who show a keen interest in Chess and wish to make an extra commitment.  The afterschool session is geared towards those players who wish to compete in the various Chess Tournaments held throughout the year by the NL School Chess Association. (None are scheduled for this year, yet, but see link for more info and last year’s schedule: http://www.chess.nl.ca/ Chess Tournaments are usually an all-day weekend event.)

There are so many lost and found items at the school already, and it isn't even winter! Check out the pictures below, and see if you are missing anything, or send your child to the lost and found area to check.

Any parent/guardian who would like to become involved with the group is invited to meet in the library at 6:30pm on Tuesday, October 23rd.  Please email  moates2010@gmail.com  for more information or to be added to the email list for future communications. Thanks so much, Mary Oates
