  • ​Music today by DJ Zim:  'If you see me' by Black Keys & 'Let the good times roll' by The Cars
  • How loud is too loud? Our building is beautiful but acoustically (A-coo-sti-kally), it has not been designed to absorb sound very well so we are in the process of making some changes that will absorb more sound. The noises from students are mostly in the “above normal" or 85 decibel range but especially at lunch, the sound was over 100 decibels. This is louder than a lawn mower or a jet plane. 100 decibels is too loud! So, if you are playing the piano, it's because you know how to play and can play something beautiful rather than just adding more noise to the foyer area. Outside, it was only between 50-60 decibels mostly. For your hearing health, consider spending more time outside! The fresh air is beneficial, too! See you outside during breaks!
  •  Bathroom Breaks Ms Jung and Mr. Clay would like to remind students that teachers are being asked to monitor bathroom breaks more carefully because there is a person or a few people who are not taking care of our washrooms. Please be respectful and treat our school with care and compassion so we can all enjoy this space and feel safe in this place. Use paper towels wisely and recycle it into the appropriate bins.

  • Hot Lunch! Hot Lunch is back next week! If you missed out on the Subway lunch, remind your parents that orders need to be placed on Munch-a-lunch before midnight this Saturday. Fresh Slice pizza is on the menu!
