Dear Parents,

Welcome back after our Christmas break!   I hope you are all surviving this deep freeze.  I know we are all looking forward to the much warmer weather next week.

Couple of updates for you to be aware of:

1. Monday is a non-instructional day and therefore NO SCHOOL for students.
2. I would like to say a great big THANK YOU to all the parents who helped their students memorize the audition pieces for our Lion King performance.  All of the auditions were amazing – if only we had 200 speaking parts!!   Cast members will be shared on Tuesday and an email will go home to those families to let you know.  If you do not receive an email, unfortunately your child did not get a speaking part but will still be performing with their class during the performance.   Thank you again for your support and encouragement towards this great production.
3. As we have experienced this week, Calgary can have some very cold days.  Please be sure to send all the appropriate winter clothing for your children as we do go out to enjoy the winter weather even if it is -20 !!
4. DANCE PERFORMANCE – all of our students have been learning some great dance moves during their PE classes since we returned from the break and we will be showcasing their talents with a dance performance on Friday Jan. 19 at 11am in the school gym.  Parents are invited to come and see their students during this performance.  Each dance is only 1-2 minutes so make sure you are not late or you may miss your child’s performance.   Doors will open at 10:40.
5. Fun Lunch is on Thursday Jan 25.  If you are interested in having your child participate, please go to Healthy Hunger to order.   Please remember that M/W Kindergarten and Grade 3 students in Rm 3, 5, 8 should NOT order this fun lunch as they are not at school that day.  

We hope you enjoy your weekend and stay warm!!

Sincerely,

Andrea Taylor – Principal @ Le Roi Daniels
