​Hello families!

I hope you are enjoying our changing season! It sure is feeling more like fall with cool nights and cooler days.  Here are some reminders and homework items for this week:

• ​15 minutes of French reading each night: Practice makes progress! Research shows that students who read at least 15 minutes a day make accelerated progress in reading. We have been exploring the classroom library and many students have discovered small chapter-book series they really enjoy reading. Please remember to have your child record the minutes they read each night in their agenda.
• ​ The annual DFS catalogue fundraiser packets were set home last week. Please help us work together to fundraise for various PSS initiatives!
• If you have not yet sent in your $40 fee for school supplies, please do as soon as possible.
• Student Council elections for classroom representatives will be held Monday, September 24th. Students interested in running should prepare a short speech for Monday explaining what qualities would make them a good leader. Student Council will meet every Thursday at noon.
• Student Vote: Students will also have the opportunity to "vote" in the Provincial Election Monday, September 24th. Student Vote is an organization that encourages the education and participation of youth in the democratic progress. We will be discussing election news and issues of interest to them throughout the week. We encourage you to discuss with your child at home as well. http://studentvote.ca/nb2018/
