Kildeer Principal's Message-February 9th

Dear Kildeer Families,

We kicked off this month of February with a Kindness challenge. Has your child filled you in? Thanks to all staff and students for a meaningful buddy classroom activity this week that focused on partnering as a school to "throw kindness around like confetti!" If you haven't done so yet, please ask your child what they are committed to doing this month! We will come together for our trimester Cougar Pride assembly on Friday, February 23 to celebrate the great things going on!

It's that time of year and our Valentine's parties are NEXT WEEK. Please remember if you choose to include an item with your child's Valentines, please note that only non-food items are permissible and we ask no goody bags.  Candy, snacks, or any sort of food item will be sent back home with your child on Valentine's day if sent to school.

Thanks for your help with this!
