Congratulations also to our students who received certificates for the Gospel Value of Community at our Faith Assembly on Wednesday! Sydney, Chase, Marcos and Izaac were recognized for:
- For promoting safety in school and on the schoolyard
- For including others
- For welcoming new students and staff
- For helping others during difficult times
Congratulations to the boys and girls who represented St. Clare at the volleyball tournaments: Grace, Marie-France and Nick.
Our first field trip is tomorrow! A couple of reminders:
-as we are under a snowfall warning according to the Weather Network - if the school buses are not running to school tomorrow (Snow Day), they will also not run for our trip, so the trip will have to be rescheduled. Please listen to the radio, check http://www.ottawaschoolbus.ca/ or OSTA @OttSchoolBus on Twitter to stay informed of any cancellations.
-if the busses are running, the weather is going to be messy, so please make sure your child is dressed appropriately for it. We will be outside for some time, walking from the bus to the Parliament buildings, from Parliament to the World Exchange Plaza for lunch and back, etc. Boots, weatherproof coats, hats and mitts are recommended.
-students will need to bring their lunch and a water bottle as usual. A small amount of cash to purchase a souvenir or extra beverage is permitted. NO ELECTRONICS are allowed. As students will have to leave their bags on the school bus during the tours of Parliament and the Mint, anything of value is best left at home. For security reasons, no bags are permitted in Parliament or the Mint.
-we are really looking forward to this fun and educational trip! Let's hope the weather cooperates!
