** Calendar Update ** Due to Snow Days - March 21, April 11, May 20 are now regular school days **
Dropping your child off in the morning and there are still students on the playground? Please bring your child to the playground gate. The supervisor will be able to open the gate if necessary. This is a safer and supervised drop-off, and they will enter the school together with the other students and supervisor. Please only drop them off at the main office if the supervisor has already come inside from the playground with the other students.

Thanks to La Francoderole, philanthropic partner of the “Creating Connections” program, with support from the municipality of Hemmingford and the Government of Canada, our students had the opportunity to create a mural in collaboration with students from Saint-Romain School on February 26 and 27. Each class had an opportunity to participate in painting, and then final touches were made by students from both schools working together. We hope you enjoy the photos below of this collaborative effort. Please also keep your eye out for an article in The Gleaner written by Hemmingford Elementary students working with Sarah Rennie.
Once again, at the end of the February we highlighted ‘paws’itive actions from our students at a school assembly. When an adult gives a student a ‘paws’itive, they are entered into a monthly draw to pick a reward for their class. One student from each class is drawn and their ‘paw’ is also displayed on our Huskie bulletin board. These are our February ‘Paw’some students.
Mme Hébert is collecting the pull tabs from cans. These tabs are collected to help a friend whose little boy was born with Brittle Bone Disease. They are collecting the tabs to help purchase a special mobility device for him. If you have any cans in your recycling and would like to help, please send the tabs (not the cans) to Mme Hébert at school. She will be collecting for the rest of the school year. Thank you!
