In Flander’s Fields
A number of brave souls from Division 8 volunteered to practice on their own time in order to present this famous Remembrance Day poem written during the First World War by Canadian physician Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae.

Well done everyone! I’m so proud of our contribution to this Nelson tradition.

Happy Halloween!
I hope everyone had a tons of fun yesterday out and about with your family and friends!! After lots of fun during the day at school, Kennedy & I went to the house of Kennedy’s friends Anderson and Georgia! We ate yummy pizza and then went Trick or Treating around the spooky neighbourhood houses. When we got home we were treated to some spectacular fireworks we could see in Richmond and Vancouver from our apartment windows.
What costumes did you wear out Trick or Treating!? Send your pictures to Ms. Watt at stephanie.watt@burnabyschools.ca

Nelson’s Haunted Museum!
On Wednesday, Division 1’s 6s and 7s will be hosting their annual haunted house and this year’s theme is The HAUNTED MUSEUM!
Along with being a fun activity for the whole school, each year this is a fundraiser for Nelson’s foster children. This year our children are Kevin Rodriguez Burgos and Parishmita Singha. Please bring at least a quarter to support these wonderful kids and all the work Division 1 does for our school!

Merry Christmas!!
Merry Christmas Nelsonites! I hope everyone has had tons of fun over the past week celebrating the holidays & spending time with your friends & families! 
It’s been a nice and relaxing time during Kennedy’s 3rd Christmas. After a quick trip to the aquarium, we jumped onto a ferry to Vancouver Island to stay with Kennedy’s Grandad and Grandma. She’s having lots of fun exploring local beaches and collecting rocks, shells and beach glass. She’s also reading lots of Christmas books and playing with gifts from Santa. Enjoy your 2nd week of winter holidays everyone and I can’t wait to hear about all your celebrations when we return in 2019!
