Sydenham P.S. Update
November 2nd 2023
Message from your Admin Team :)
Hello Sydenham Families,
We hope this message finds you all in good health and high spirits as we welcome a new month. November arrived and with it some colder temperatures. Brr:) We continue to have outdoor recesses, so please dress for the chilly weather.
Our online School clothing store is open until 5th November for orders. We have sample sizes available in the office for trying on. Sydenham clothing makes a great gift:)
We had so much fun and learning around Halloween this year- we estimated, studied art and made predictions as we had hands on, experience based learning. The gym was filled with characters who chatted and danced the afternoon away at our Halloween dance.
Thank you to our student council led by Mr. Richards for organization and the yummy canteen.
On 9th November, the school will observe Remembrance day @10:30 am in the gymnasium. All families are welcome to attend this solemn event, hosted and led by our student body. We extend a warm welcome to all active and past military members within our school community to attend our ceremony. Thank you for your service.
10th November is a board wide professional development day. There is no School ofr students.
We value the active involvement of parents in our school community. If you are interested in volunteering or participating in the School Advisory Council (SAC), please reach out to our SAC chair Connie Jenkins for more information. Our next meeting is 22nd November @5:30pm. Babysitting available.
Thank you for entrusting us with the education and growth of your children. Together, we will continue to create a safe, nurturing, and inspiring environment where every child can thrive.
Progress reports will be sent home on 17th November.
Wishing you all a fantastic November as we witness nature settling in for a winter nap.
Your partners in education,
Mrs. MacDonald, Mrs. Barrett and the Sydenham PS Team :)
