Information Items:

- On Monday students in grades K-2 are encouraged to wear costumes and those in grades 3-5 encouraged to wear orange and black. K-2 students are also welcome to come in black and orange if they do not want to wear costumes.

 -Next week marks Canada Career Week. With the help of staff, Java will share clues about staff members' second dream career (teaching is, of course, our first) and classes will guess which teacher it belongs to. On Wednesday, we will have our K-5 assembly during which Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind will be introduced and connected to the idea of setting a career goal and then creating a plan. Then on Thursday, students will attend our Career Expo in the gymnasium. Thank you in advance to our FES family members who have volunteered to participate. On Friday, students can look forward to career dress-up day. Finally, students are invited to complete an at-home activity about their dream career (please see attached). Students who would like to complete this activity, which simply involves them identifying their dream career and drawing a picture of themselves in this career, are asked to submit their sheet to their teacher by Tuesday, November 1st, so that Java can display the many career possibilities available to students. Thank you for your support!

-  The first round of Student Led clubs will begin in late November. Application forms will be distributed to interested grade 4-5 students on Tuesday. Grade 3 students who are interested can complete “Leader In Training” forms and be paired with grade 4-5 students with similar interests.
