Dear Elginburg Families,
We have made it to March! February has been a month filled with engaging activities. Students celebrated Black History Month by focusing on Black Excellence, learning about and recognizing famous Canadians for their contributions to society. The EDPS School Council hosted a successful Valentine's Dance on Wednesday, February 11 (thank you!). Bus presentations happened on February 12, and all Term One Report Cards were distributed to families on Friday, February 14. On Tuesday, February 17, EDPS participated at Queen's University and both teams (Boys/Girls) had success! Congratulations to all who participated, and special thanks to the coaches (Ms. Schall and Mrs. Heyman). As we head into term two, Elginburg staff welcome Breanna Neden, who will be our Learning Coach from the LDSB this term! We will continue to collaborate with a focus on numeracy and literacy.
March has some key events happening to share with the EDPS Community. Wednesday, March 4th we kick off March Math-ness with Games Day, where students are paired with classes to engage with numeracy games. This Thursday, March 5th, the Elginburg School Council is kindly hosting a Hot Dog Lunch for all students (on School Day *Mr. Harding’s class - March 10th due to curling trip). The IST Student Celebration is also happening on this day, from 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm. March Break is almost upon us! Students will enjoy time off from Monday, March 16th to Friday, March 20th. Please keep note that Thursday, March 27th is the date to return “March Math-ness” Bingo Cards (Please ensure your child’s name is on it!). Our March Math-ness final assembly is on Tuesday, March 31st.
We aim to have a wonderful March filled with learning!
Rare Disease Day - February 28
Thank you, Katey (mother of Audrey and Claire), for sharing with the Elginburg Community. As you stated:
“Spreading awareness creates understanding. Understanding creates support.”
Rare Disease Day is February 28th every year. It is a day to bring awareness to rare diseases, how they effect the person with the disease, their families and caregivers.
Audrey and Claire have Dup15Q. Dup15 occurs in 1 in 30 000 births. They have an extra copy of their 15th chromosome, which results in developmental disabilities, speech delays and physical delays. They attend various therapies on a regular basis to help develop their gross motor and fine motor skills and their speech. On Thursday, February 27th, Mrs. Guild’s class had a special presenter, Nora (Claire and Audrey’s sister). Mom and Dad came too! Nora shared with the grade 3 class this information and answered questions students had. We are grateful for your visit!
