Letter writing unit.

Since March Break, we have started our letter writing unit. It's important that your child knows her/his address. Please help your child to learn it by looking at envelopes and letters that come in the mail.

Spring Concert!

The date for Clairlea's Spring Concert has been set as May 11 and it will be held at SATEC Collegiate Institute.

International day of pink.

On Wednesday, April 12, we will be celebrating International Day of Pink. This is a Canadian anti-bullying event. The story behind it is this:


"The event started when students David Shepherd and Travis Price saw another student, who was wearing a pink shirt, being bullied in their Central Kings Rural High School in Nova Scotia, and deciding to show support for the student by getting everyone at their school to wear pink the following day.

The initiative inspired youth at Jer's Vision who founded The International Day of Pink, an effort to support their peers internationally with resources and ways to make their schools safer.

In 2012 over 8 million people participated."   (Wikipedia)

To recognize this important initiative, we are planning to make tie-dye t-shirts to wear on April 12. 

PLEASE SEND IN A PLAIN WHITE T-SHIRT (old or new) BY APRIL 5, with your child's name marked with a Sharpie on the inside neck (so it doesn't wash off). 

If you cannot find one, please let me know as soon as possible.
