Farewell and Welcome Back!
At Spring Break we will be saying good bye to Mrs. Manns in grade 3 and welcome back to Mrs. Barteaux. We wish Mrs. Manns all the best in her teaching career and thank her for all of her hard work and positivity at R.J.Waugh. She will be missed. We hope that one day she will be back teaching in our school.

Canadian Red Cross Pink Day
On April 13, 2016 students from all over Canada will wear pink shirts
in solidarity to show they are taking a stand against bullying. Pink Day is an initiative that provides students with the opportunity to discuss the impact of bullying and how they can use their power to help create a safe and respectful school environment. We want students and parents to know that every day is pink day and that thinking about bullying prevention is something we do everyday, not just once a year. On April 13, 2016, join the movement at R.J. Waugh by wearing pink and taking a stand against bullying. If you ordered a t-shirt, they will arrive soon!

Earth Day Clean-Up— R.J.Waugh students will be participating in an Earth Day community clean up on April 21st in the afternoon. Cargill will be supplying the students with a nutritional snack. Thank you Cargill.

Some of the classrooms will be doing a trial of this great
program!
