Principal's Message
January was a COLD month, and it looks like February won't be much warmer! On days where it's warm enough outside it is so much fun to watch the students pulling each other around on the sleds. On Indoor Recess days seeing the students walk laps of the hallways with smiles on their faces is great too. I have been so impressed by everyone's attitudes as we "go with the flow" of the changing weather.
I Love to Read Month has officially begun at Elmdale School! Boston Pizza stopped by with their mascot Lionel to deliver a $500 donation for purchasing books for the school! Thank you! Also at our kick off assembly Mrs. Reimer read her favourite book "You are Special" and we had a whole-school silent reading time. What a special event to be a part of! We hope you do lots of reading throughout the month! We're looking forward to some guest readers coming this month as well!
Another exciting thing is the launch of our official Elmdale Instagram account. Follow us at ElmdaleHSD for regular updates from the school. We will continue to also use our Twitter Account @ElmdaleHSD if you prefer that.

Drop off & Pick up
Alternately, parents can park along Main Street (please do not use business' parking lots for this) and bring their children in the Main Street doors of the school. Please DO NOT drop off your children at the end of the bus loop on Elm Street. This creates a hazardous situation for buses trying to leave the bus loop!
Thanks for your cooperation with this.

Reading Celebration
A huge THANK YOU to Jim from Stoney Brook Creamery for donating the chocolate milk and Holly from Old Church Bakery for donating the cookies for this event. It was a YUMMY way to celebrate meeting our reading goals!
