LEARNING COMMONS NEWS In the library this week we are continuing with our second novels

of the year. The grades 1-3 have been enjoying the antics of Pippi

Longstocking and the grades 4-6 have been following the adven-

tures of Peak. The grades 1-3 were excited to take home their

Blind Dates. I hope you are all enjoying them as a family! Circula-

tion has increased with the added incentive of Book Worms and

the overdue list has gotten somewhat shorter. Please help your

child remember to return their library books on Wednesdays.

Young Engineers Club is a new activity that will take place on

Thursdays during noon recesses in the Makerspace. All students

are welcome to join in and attempt the challenges of design , crea-

tion, trial and improvement. Each week we will have a new chal-

lenge for students to tackle.

JUMP ROPE FOR HEART

Clandonald School is participating in Jump

Rope for Heart again this year. Pledge en-

velopes were sent home with students last

week following the kick-off. They need to

be returned by March 28, the day of our

school jump event. Thank you for helping

our students become caring and active

citizens.
