We hope this finds you healthy, refreshed and well energized to start a new week.  Here at school, March is clipping along with Monday, March 9th, 2026, as Day 6 on the Instructional Schedule. 

Today, March 8th, 2026, is International Women’s Day.  It is celebrated annually and honors the achievements of women across all aspects of life - social, economic, cultural, and political - while also advocating for gender equality.  

Here at your school, we are pleased to have partnered with Ms. Joanne Morrisey, a local organizer, to provide space and support for a special International Women’s Day event.  As a lead up, we worked with our young learners and supported their engagement on the theme through discussion and hands-on activities.

As you are aware, Term 2 Report Cards will be released on Wednesday, March 18th with Parent Meetings set for the afternoon and evening on Thursday, March 19th, 2026.  For convenience, we have set all appointments for the same time as your December 4th, 2025 meeting.  If this works for you, you have to do nothing except meet with us at your scheduled time.  The online portal for booking appointments is displayed at the top of our school’s web page - ahe.nlesd.ca.  The site is now available for you to book or change an appointment.  

Skating continues this week with a session set for Grade 3 and Grade 4 at 10:30 AM Tuesday, March 10th.  Students will leave the school at 10:00 AM and be back in time for their regular lunch hour.

In preparation for skating, please ensure that all skaters are registered through NLSchools RYCOR and that the fee is paid through this online platform.  If you need assistance with RYCOR, please reach out to us and we will be happy to assist.

We have a Playground Team up and running and open to new members.  There is another meeting of the team set for 7:00 PM on Wednesday March 11th, 2026.  We have a lot of work to do and will always welcome new ideas.

As you may be aware, Karlee MacDonald, a child in Grade 4 here at your school is the new ambassador for the Janeway Children’s Miracle Network. 

Karlee needed life-saving open heart surgery before she was one month old. After weeks of recovery and years of follow-up care at the Janeway, Karlee is now nine years old and thriving as a bright student and competitive dancer.

At 1:30 PM on Friday, February 27th, 2026, we will gather in our school gym to hear from Janessa Ward with the Janeway Foundation.  She will talk a little about Karlee and share in the excitement.  Karlee has a busy year ahead as the 2026 Champion.  

Please join us in wearing RED on Friday to show our support for Karlee.   If you are collecting pull-tabs for Karlee Cares, it may be a good time to send them in.
