Merry Christmas!
Principal's Message
November was an eventful month, with the highlight being the teacher/parent/ student conferences which follow report cards, and once again we had a very high degree of parent participation. Thank you to parents for being such active and collaborative partners in our work with your children throughout the year!
Another big „thank you‟ goes out to everyone for contributing to our Santa‟s Elves collection of foodstuffs for the Strathcona Christmas Bureau Food Bank! We have a remarkable sharing spirit in the Uncas Community, and it shone brightly throughout our collection activity.
One and all are invited to our annual Christmas Concert on the evening of Tuesday, December 20. The concert begins at 6:30 pm, and is preceded by a Dress Rehearsal at 10:00 am which is open to any families who will not be able to attend the evening show. Doors will be opened for the evening performance at 6:00 pm., and the Parent Council „preferred seating‟ draw will be made at the onset of the concert, with proceeds going to the Strathcona Christmas Bureau.
Thanks to all of our families for participating in the Christmas Stocking decoration activity! You will see your handiwork proudly displayed at the concert decorating the gym walls. Please take the time to view all of the colourful stockings, and be certain to take yours home with you to adorn your mantle throughout the holiday season.
On behalf of the Uncas School staff, I would like to wish you and yours a Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and a safe and wonderful holiday season!
