Thank you to our students for their hard-work with the Remembrance Day Service. Our students sang beautifully and were respectful during this important Service. We appreciate our families, friends, and neighbours who joined us. A special thank you to Mrs. Witzke and Mrs. DeJong for their work in making this service a success.

Bag to School

Out with the old and in with the new. Bag2School is back! Fill up the blue bag that will come home before the Christmas break with gently used clothing, shoes, bedding, coats, belts and soft toys. These items will be collected, weighed and distributed to those in need in developing countries. For each tonne collected our school will receive $200. Since we have started this campaign, we have raised over $1900. Look for a flyer to come home in December with information regarding drop off times and locations. Help us help others!

Hot Lunch

Hot lunches will be served on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday this week. The www.esns.ca system remains open for orders and all orders must be placed 9 days in advance of delivery, as we must place our orders with our suppliers in this time frame. An email will be sent on Sunday as a reminder of your purchases. Please note that orders will only be processed if they are paid in full. The ESNS website accepts orders until Thursday at 11:30 a.m.
