Window on People. During the next few weeks we will work on our Windows on People. This window focuses on fun with family and friends in our neighbourhood, community, country and around the world.

One of our ongoing projects will be to collect guiding crests from all over the world to put on a quilt. One side will have all the Canadian provinces and the other side will be the world. If you have a guiding crest you would like to share with us please email Brown Owl for her snail mail address.

We will also continue to read our e-mail from guiding friends who leave messages from our homepage.

On January 14, we will be taking an adventure walk outside around the school. BRING A FLASHLIGHT AND DRESS TO PLAY OUTSIDE. Other topics for the evening will be a bear hunt; covering safe play and what to do if we are lost. How about a new song? The Dutch Shoe Song.
