Dear Parents,
Valentine’s Day is fast approaching and students
are very excited! We will be celebrating Feb 14th with a variety of
literacy and numeracy activities focused around Ken Taylor School’s H.E.A.R.T
values.
As a writing activity, your
child may wish to give a card to classmates, whether store bought or homemade.
As always, participation is completely optional. If your child does
participate we ask that he/she provide a card for EVERY student in the class.
Please have your child print all text independently.
Students may also bring
their own special snack for the afternoon.
A list of classmates names has been given to your child :)

Dear Parents/Guardians:
As you know our School’s Grand Opening Ceremony will be held next Friday, February 10th at 1:00 pm. This is a great opportunity for the CBE and the provincial government to acknowledge the importance of public education. Through a variety of ways, our students will be expressing their appreciation for all the many hardworking people required to build our school. Additional highlights include a few words from an Elder and several government officials, both provincial and civic, who will be present to share their support. We are especially fortunate to have Ken Taylor’s wife, Patricia, join us to share some words and share in our celebration as well.
As our limited space will not allow for a general attendance we will have tickets available on-line for both the official ceremony and at the dress rehearsal on Thursday, February 9th at 1:00 pm as well.
Each person attending the evening performance needs to have a ticket. This includes all children who require a seat. Please be aware that due to limited space, strollers are not allowed in the gym.
