Events this week

Happy Monday!
There are a couple things going on in the world this week:
1. Terry Fox Day - Dewson will be celebrating Terry Fox day  tomorrow (Tuesday)  Thursday by walking or running around our school yard. Kinders have their turn first thing in the morning. Please ensure that students have a hat and water bottle, and are dressed for gym. Students are encouraged to bring a toonie to donate to Cancer Research. We will read and talk a bit about Terry Fox's story today and tomorrow.

2. Orange T-shirt Day - We encourage everyone to wear orange on Friday in support of First Nations, and in the spirit of anti-bullying and anti-racism. We will plan some age-appropriate activities centered around this theme for Friday. If you would like more info about this day, please visit www.orangeshirtday.org.

3. Dewson is holding monthly assemblies this year. It is an opportunity for us to come together, for just a very short time, in order to celebrate days of significance and review important school rules and routines together with our Principal and Vice-Principal. The September assembly will take place first thing Thursday morning, so please try not to be late to school.

Thanks for a great arrival this morning. Attendance was much, much easier - don't forget to say goodbye to me before you leave in the afternoons!
