The February Newsletter in Online Parents of Grade 6 Students Interested in Late French Immersion On Tuesday, February 9th between 6-6:30pm there will be a Parent meeting for Grade 6 students interested in the Late French Immersion program for next year. Parents and students are both welcome to attend. LT Penny Wars are Back! The library at LT is well used facility, with 330 of our students borrowing over 2400 books so far this year. To help support the high level of use and need for new books, the LT Library Crew will be running a fundraiser starting on February 1st. Each week for five weeks, each homeroom will have a chance to gain points by submitting pennies to the library. Each penny counts as one point. Each homeroom also has the chance to sabotage other classes by submitting any other funds (loonies, twoonies, quarters, dimes, nickles) which count as negative points. Each week, class standings will be announced and at the end of five weeks, the class with the highest total will win a free class in the library. All funds will be used to purchase new library books, and if we raise over $800 the winning class will get a pizza lunch with their free class. So get rolling those pennies and put them in your class container in the Library! Grade 9 Sackville High Registration Sheets were due back to Ms. MacDonald, Guidance by Friday, January 29th.
