In our first school-wide event the children participated in our annual Terry Fox Run. This was organized by Ms. Rioux and the peer helpers that prepared the students for the run were under the guidance of Mr. McQuaid. Click below on the icon for some pictures.

Students celebrated their thankfulness with poems, songs and skits as part of their Thanksgiving assembly. A special thanks to Ms. Harris for working with the children with the music and to Grade 5 students who acted as the masters of ceremonies. Check out the pics below by clicking on the turkey.

We had a Reading Rally to celebrate the joy of reading. The rally was lead by Ms. Rioux and Mrs. Dalziel and was kicked off with a whole school shared reading of "The Dot". Then students were separated into groups that were captained by our grade six class and books were distributed among group members. At certain time intervals, books were switched so all the members of each group could have the opportunity to see every book. Click on the bookpile to have a look at our readers.

The staff and students at Parkdale took time on Nov. 9th to pay tribute to those brave men and women that sacrificed their lives so we may live in peace. Through songs and poems, students conveyed their thoughta and feelings on the importance of striving for peace and avoiding conflict. The grade 6 class acted as the masters of ceremonies, offering  facts on the poppy and on the importance of Remembrance Day. Click on the icon below to view some pictures of the assembly.
