Today we all got together for a singalong. Mr. Lebrun (our fine arts teacher) led the school in singing a number of songs, both in French and English. It is also PJ day here, so students were able to wear their PJ’s, robes and slippers. Many brought along a stuffed friend or two to keep them company.

Special thanks to our grade 7 sound crew and for our grade 7 photographers.

Well done Cleveland. Have a wonderful winter break. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Take care.

This afternoon we had a wonderful primary concert, and we are getting ready for another performance this evening.

We are lucky people when we get to hear our students sing their holiday songs. Their voices filled the gym with magic, and there was a bit of laughter when one of our Kindergarten students yelled “Daddy!” after everyone went quiet.

When a school’s staff decides to put on some form of performance prior to the holiday season, they really are committing to a lot of extra work. Hours are spent selecting songs, organizing tickets, getting costumes, practicing singing, setting up the gym, etc. It takes many hours to put on a show. Thank you staff. You are amazing people.

We also get help from many places. Our grade 7 students were awesome. They helped with so many things, and we could not have done it without them. Thank you: Sydney, Katrina, Matthew, Cameron, Cassandra, Mireille, Mina, Megan, Maddy, Georgia, Charlotte, Mone, Fanny, Avin, Sarah, Sera, Veronica, Tiana, Alyssa,  and Grace.

Tomorrow morning we will have a third performance. This time, we will invite all our students into the gym to see our primary classes perform.

This is a magical time of the year.

Take care

Wow! We have had a lot of rain today. I thought it rained a lot yesterday morning, but today appears to have a lot more water coming down.

We did call an inside day today. We do not call a lot of inside days here at Cleveland. We live on the Wet Coast, and we should be ready to be outside in the rain. We did go out for recess break, but the option was given to stay in the classes during the lunch break. Some students went outside, while most stayed in their classrooms. The knitting club was using the library, and the primary yoga club was in our small gym. The grade 7’s spent the lunch break setting up the large gym for their craft fair.

Things are calm right now. Students are in class, and the rain seems to have slowed down. It will be busy after school though.

If you can come by at 3:00 pm to see our craft fair, the grade 7 students would love to sell you wonderful things.

Take care
