Junior kindergarten students at St. Francis celebrated the 100th day of school. Students brought their collections of 100 items such as pennies, beads, balloons, lego blocks and even yarn! Students sang their 100th day song to celebrate and received 100th day of school certificates to congratulate them on attending their first 100 days of school at St. Francis. Students listened to stories and even created their own class storybook about 100 foods they wish they could eat! The students ended the day with a special 100th day of school prayer.

Students in Mrs. Visentin’s junior kindergarten class at St. Francis School celebrated National Flag Day on February 15th. Students proudly painted their own Canadian flags to celebrate the day and learned that their country’s flag is 45 years old. Students have been reciting their pledge of citizenship and singing the national anthem since commencing school. It was a truly patriotic day for the junior kindergarten students.

On February 23, St. Francis students from kindergarten to grade eight wore pink for Anti-Bullying Day. The young students in the junior kindergarten class have been listening to important lessons from various storybooks this week about bullying. Students learned an important lesson about kindness and tolerance from Steve Seskin and Allen Shamblin’s book entitled, Don’t Laugh at Me. The book encouraged the students to be kind to others and accept our differences.
