Queridas familias
Thank you to families for your flexibility on performing parent-teacher conferences online with your teachers. Thank you for taking the time to talk to your teachers about your student’s ongoing progress and learning.
Spring Break
Today will be the last day of school prior to Spring Break. We wish all families a wonderful and restful week. Classes will resume on March 31, 2025.
CUPE Labour Action
We are happy to announce that Mr. Wei and Ms. Vicki are back to work today! Thank you for your understanding and flexibility during this timeframe.
Havana Cuban Dance Residency
With the amazing support of our School Council, we have an upcoming physical education residency. From March 31-April 11, students will work with Havana Dance Company to learn some Latin dance moves. Over the two weeks, we ask that students come prepared to participate in the dancing residency and that they wear clothes that will allow them to comfortably move in.
Yearbook - 'Great Adventures' , 'Grandes Aventuras'
The yearbook cover contest is back! The theme this year is "Great Adventures / Grandes Aventuras". Students can submit their best creations before APRIL 11. We love seeing our students' entries and where creativity can take them.
"Great Adventures" means to find the fun and good side of what we pursue and do in life and even in our every day.
Ask your kids to think about something they really love, or something they have overcome that makes them very proud, or even some challenges they may have encountered and turned it into a great adventure. It could also be something that they plan on doing in the future, something that motivates them and that will keep the adventure going in their lives.
Encourage them to capture those moments in a drawing and submit the drawing to our yearbook cover contest before APRIL 11.

WO Mitchell School Council
WO Council helps connect parents to the school and provides additional learning opportunities for all students. There are many ways to get involved that do not require you to hold a position on council. If you would like more information about getting connected or volunteer opportunities, please send an email to womparents@gmail.com The next meeting for School Council and the Parent Society will take place on April 8, 2025 at 7pm. At this time, we are planning a hybrid meeting (in person and online). The Grade 3 team will be presenting during this meeting.
With gratitude,
