We have built and sanded our birdhouses in ADST and are scheduled to paint them on November 27th. Students should wear old clothes in case the paint gets on them. It is outdoor paint that would likely not be possible to wash out of clothing. Once they have dried and are ready students will bring them home.
There will be no school on Tuesday in recognition of Remembrance Day. We will have an assembly Monday and please consider making donations for poppies to support our veterans.

Daylight Savings is Sunday morning. Be sure to set your clocks back 1 hour.
Students are welcome to wear costumes on Friday provided they are appropriate for school. The Student Council will be hosting a costume contest and there will be a dance at lunch. No weapons or costumes others may find offensive please. Students may be asked to remove costumes during regular class time if they interfere with regular classroom work, but they may show them off at the assembly.
