Dear Lynx families/Chères familles Lynx, 

A big welcome back to our grade 6 students who spent the first three days this week out at Camp Chief Hector.  While the weather delayed the start of the trip, it sounds like students had a wonderful time.  A big thank you to the parent volunteers, Ms. Ramos, Mr. Cheng and M. Kyle. 

Finally, a few sports updates to finish the update. Basketball has wrapped up this week for all our teams.  Families, please make sure that you wash your child(ren)’s jersey and send it back to school.  We will be having wrap up parties and hopefully some interschool games over the following weeks. Wrestling season is now in full swing.  We will be competing in our first quad meeting a few weeks from now. 

Please stay warm and enjoy the snow! 

Bonne fin de semaine, 

Mr. Chad Edmonds – Principal Georges P Vanier School
