Please return your child's homework textbook by Friday. They will have no more use for it after this week's homework is due on Friday. Inventory will be taken on the weekend to ensure we have all the books for next year's students. Thanks!

Help Stop the Cycle of Cruelty

In class, we have been discussing Puppy Mills and the fact that there are increasing amounts of these sad places in Quebec and Ontario. Here are a few good links with tips to help stop Puppy Mills. Don't feel helpless. You CAN help. There are even links to sample template letters that you can send to MP's, Mayors or Counselors. Be informed! Know what is happening in our Country!

Be the change you wish to see and share info with friends.
