 What's New...

January 27, 2012

ALL buses and small vehicles are cancelled today. Schools remain open however remember if you drive your child(ren) to school, you must also pick them up at the end of the day
 

Happy Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese New Year; Year of the Dragon.  The Dragon is anything but a formidable foe in Chinese culture. Unlike the demon that gets slayed in Western literature, the Dragon is a symbol of good fortune and intense power in Eastern culture. In Chinese tradition, the Dragon is regarded as a divine beast.

 

 

According to Sung dynasty manuscripts, the Dragon is described as having the "head of an ox or donkey, eyes of a shrimp, horns of a deer, body of a serpent covered with fish scales, and a feet of a phoenix," and it usually clutches a pearl, meant to symbolize its supernatural powers.  

 

Reminders:

  • January 25th -  Our Grade 3 students will be participating in the Swim to Survive program
  • January 26th - Several of our Grade 8 students will be participating in 'Tech Days' at the Earl of March S.S.

 

ARC 

After nearly a year and a half of discussion, consultation, and healthy debate, the members of the Kanata South ARC are now prepared to share their draft ARC Report with the entire community.   I strongly encourage you to attend the next public consultation meeting on November 16th at A. Y. Jackson Secondary School (7:30pm).  Please know that, depending on which option the ARC committee chooses to recommend to our Trustees, every Castlefrank student may potentially be affected by the changes.  After next week’s meeting, members of the public will have a final opportunity to provide the committee with feedback before they write the final report.  We can not emphasis enough the importance of you staying informed and exercising your right to have a voice in this change process.

 

Kids Helping Kids!

On October 27th, Castlefrank E.S. presented Hawthorne Public School’s Principal Marnie Patterson with a cheque for $1014.04.  These funds were raised during last June’s Castlefrank Kiwanis Read-a-thon and are intended to support literacy initiatives at Hawthorne PS.
