MORE NOTES for your Information!

Wednesday is McDonald's fundraiser Night!

If you would like to join in a community event that has the bonus of fundraising for Holy Redeemer School, then take your family to McDonald's on Wednesday.  Present the yellow coupon that was sent home Monday to the cashier and a portion of the sale is given to the school.

November 17 - 20 is "BULLY PREVENTION WEEK" 
with a focus on "Samaritan of the Digital Road"
(Based on the story where several people pass by an injured man on the road until a "good Samaritan" stops to take care of him. Moral of the story for Kinders would be to care for others in all we do.)
In our discussions on internet safety, we also promote the use of only positive messages; based on directives from the OCSB that we educate all students on the importance of being responsible, respectful, and generally good 'digital' citizens on the internet. Therefore, the lessons for all students in the Board are based on the parable of the Good Samaritan. 
* Below is a video, which teaches three important rules to remember when using the internet.

FRIDAY is "Christian Community Day" for all Ottawa Catholic School Board employees.  This means it is a PD day for all students or in other words, there is no school on November 21st.
