Week #12: Nov. 18th - 22nd
Can you believe that December is just around the corner?! This week has brought a fair bit of drizzle and grey skies, but here's hoping for some sunshine this weekend (fingers crossed).
It sure doesn't look or feel like the snow is coming, but I’m sure many of you may have been eagerly awaiting its arrival to hit the hills at Blue Mountain or your private ski clubs. :)
I want to take a moment to thank you, parents, for ensuring your child has the appropriate clothing for whatever weather comes our way—rain, snow, or anything in between. After all, we live in an area that embraces all four seasons!
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend spent with family!
NIGHTHAWK SPIRIT:
Shoutout to our amazing students showing school spirit by wearing their Nighthawk gear and school colors on Fridays! 🦅💙
Your pride and participation demonstrate unity, teamwork, and love for our school family.
Let’s keep the spirit soaring—join in and show your Nighthawk pride every Friday. Together, we shine brighter! 🌟
Please note, I have personally notified the parents of students who will be recognized for their courage and bravery. We hope you can join us in celebrating these remarkable students if you're able to attend! :)
This is a wonderful opportunity to recognize the empathy, compassion, and achievements of our incredible staff and students—you won’t want to miss it!
Please mark your calendars and join us for this celebration of character and community :)
WINTER CELEBRATION CONCERT:
We’re excited to invite you to our Winter Holiday Concert on Wed. Dec. 11th at 6:30 PM! 🎶
My students will perform 2 songs with Mrs. Cavill (their music teacher):

Keep practicing, your dedication will make our performances amazing! 🌟🎶
Each year our school and our school board participate in the OPHEA healthy schools program. This year, our school will focus learning and support on the areas of physical health and mental health.
You will hear your child talk about Mindful Mondays, whole school DPA, breathing techniques, conflict resolution and much more.
One part of the OPHEA healthy schools program is to engage with our parents and our school community.
We need your help in identifying what as a school we are doing well from your perspective and what other areas we can address, implement new things or improve in terms of physical and mental health.
Please take a few minutes to complete this survey (see below) to help us grow our Healthy School! Thank you for your time, support, and energy put forth into this survey.
As you know, I hold high expectations for academics because I believe in your child’s incredible potential and want to help prepare them not only for this grade, but also for their future educational journey and beyond.
This year, we’ve focused on the importance of being attentive, accountable, and engaged during lessons. I’ve encouraged students to embrace note-taking as a powerful tool to capture key information—building a resource they can utilize for assessments, assignments, and projects.
To all my dedicated students who have embraced this challenge and are actively striving to reach their potential, I’m so proud of you!
Your hard work and determination are shaping essential skills for success, and your progress is truly inspiring. Keep it up—bravo! 👏✨
A big shout-out to Alex for stepping up to support Brylee with her daily math work. It’s inspiring to see such leadership and kindness in action!
Thank you, Alex, for being a role model and helping create a classroom where everyone feels safe and supported to learn and grow.
Let us all keep uplifting one another and celebrating our unique strengths!
Just like a great team, your brain’s regions work best when they work together!
Let’s take a tour to meet these incredible regions and learn how they operate --> click the video below!
Understanding and appreciating your brain can help you set a positive, peaceful tone for thinking, learning, and playing every single day.
Enjoy learning about our amazing brain power! 🧠✨
What does this mean? Well, sometimes we can’t control what happens around us, like the wind. But we can CHOOSE how we respond, just like a sailor adjusts the sails on a boat to go in the right direction.
