Scholastic Book Fair – November 28–December 5
Our Scholastic Book Fair is a book sale event that brings the most current and popular books into our school! There will be a wonderful selection of engaging and affordable books for every reader, as well as some great gift-giving ideas! This is also an important fundraising event to bring new resources into our School! Please stop by our Book Fair during Parent/Teacher interviews.
Thank you for your support - we look forward to seeing you at our Book Fair!
Annual Winter Activity Day
Teachers are creating info sheets for each trip. Over the next couple weeks, students will need to check out the information board outside the main gym to make sure they have all the information they need to be prepared for their trip. This board will be ready for Parent-Teacher conferences so please check it out in the main hallway between the main and auxiliary gymnasium.
We need your help! These trips take lots of supervision, so please have your child come pick up a volunteer form if you’d like to come along. Not sure if you’re a cleared volunteer at CNG? Call the main office and they can help you!
Basketball Season Finals
We are wishing our Sr Boys basketball team good luck as they play Friday night in the championship game at Robert Thirsk High School. Congratulations to our Jr Girls basketball team and the Jr Boys basketball team who both advance to their division finals on Monday at William D. Pratt School.
