Today the Grade 6s got to experiment on the Grade 5s! Don't worry though, they were all safe math experiments. Grade 6 students will now be able to graph all of their data.

Are you ready to cheer on Team Canada? Wear your red and white on Thursday as it is flag day and our spirit day here at school!

The grade 5/6 Leadership Market will be held on Wednesday, in the foyer at noon. We will be selling baked goods and hand made crafts. Our chosen charity this year is the Canadian Cancer Foundation. Everyone is welcome!

With Palliser cancelling regular classes today, staff had the day to get lots of other work done around the school and in classrooms. Also our beautiful tree in the library is looking even more spectacular with the addition of Habit 8 and some leadership words on it.

With no classes today, the 100th Day of School festivities will be moved back to February 14th for Grade 1/2.

Looks like it will be another snow day tomorrow. Stay warm and safe, everyone.

Despite the snow we had a busy day at VPE. Grade 5/6 students had a chance to do a little Olympic research. Grade 3/4 played some more Tunisian games, learn some Arabic and enjoy date squares. Grade 1/2 and kindergarten were busy playing and learning in math, reading and more.

Hot lunch orders are due on Monday. Don't miss out on a delicious meal!

Today was all about the writing celebrations. The grade 3/4 students had a poetry slam to share some of their favourites poems they wrote. Each student recited their favourite poem and then everyone went around and shared positive written feedback to the other students’ poetry anthologies. Everyone was able to enjoy snacks and juice as well. The grade 5/6s shared their informational writing by holding an international fair where the students got to share some of the interesting facts about the country they researched and wrote about. Some students dressed up in outfits representing their country and made food from their country. It was a fun and informative day.

Look for some VPE students and their fantastic art in vTV's latest video at http://www.vulcantv.ca/canada-150-kids-art-project/

Our school patrollers had the chance to go skate with and get autographs from members of the Lethbridge Hurricanes today. It was a nice reward for all of their hard work so far, especially one those cold mornings!

Our school patrollers get a reward for all of their hard work when they get to go Skating with the Lethbridge Hurricanes tomorrow. Remember your skates, gloves and helmets. Lunch is provided, but you may want to bring some snacks.
