Dear Families,

We had a great start to our week with a performance by our choir and dance club!  It was great to see some families come to join in the fun as well.  The book fair was in the library all week, thank you for your support of the fair, as it allows us to buy lots of great books for our school.  Hopefully you had the chance to pop in Thursday or Friday to see what your River Runners have been up to this term.  Reach out to your teacher if you weren’t able to make it and would like to check in. Don’t forget that Monday, April 20^th is a professional development day! See you Tuesday.

This year our staff is using the WITS program language to support our continued efforts to ensure a safe and caring school environment for all.  The WITS program teaches all kids how to respond to mean behavior and support anti-bullying and victimization through empowering students to use this approach.

We share this to further connect our efforts between home and school to support all our kids.  Click the image below for more information.
