Welcome to the first school week in March.  As you are aware, tomorrow, Monday, March 2, 2026, is a Report Card Writing day for the staff at All Hallows Elementary.  There are no classes for students.  With classes starting on Tuesday, March 3 it is Day 2 on the Instructional Schedule.

Skating continues this week with a session set for Kindergarten, Grade 1 and Grade 2 at 10:30 AM Tuesday, March 3rd.  Students will leave the school at 10:00 AM and be back in time for their regular lunch hour.  Students in Kindergarten require an adult at the arena to assist in the dressing room and on the ice.

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.

Thursday, March 5th, 2026, is KinderStart Day.  There are no regular Kindergarten classes.

Sunday, 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 partner with Ms. Joanne Morrisey, a local organizer, to provide space and support for a special International Women’s Day event on March 8th.  As a lead up to the day, we are working with our young learners and supporting their engagement on the theme through discussion and hands-on activities.

Information on the International Women’s Day event set for March 8th is available from Ms. Joanne Morrisey through her Facebook page.  Please note that this is not a school fundraising event.  The details related to tickets and fund distribution are clearly printed in the promotional materials that are attached in your email.  All proceeds from this event go to O’Shaughnessy House.

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.

Please also note that Monday, March 2, 2026, is a Report Card Writing day for the staff at All Hallows Elementary.  There are no classes for students.
