          Well we are well into September and things are moving along.  Just a couple of quick notes 1) School Photos will be taken on Friday morning.  They will be available for purchase with various "package" choices at a later date.  Chilren are usually kept inside during the early recess as many are dressed up, but are welcome to change afterward for outdoor play later in the morning.    2) Library books!- I apologize for any confusion- Library day was on Monday. Children are allowed to sign out one book adn must return it by Friday each week. Failure to do so suspends a child's privledge until the book is returned.  3)          Special Dates:                            Photo Day  Sept. 21      *Mad Science presents!  Sept. 21                                     Terry Fox walk   Sept. 27         *Kouchibouguac Presentation Sept. 28
