Dot Day

Today was International Dot Day at Stevenson, based on a story called, "The Dot" by Peter H. Reynolds. The story tells us all to 'make our mark', be creative, be proud, and to help each other.

We listened to "The Dot Song" today at school during our school-wide Music Listening Time.

PARENT COUNCIL

Our Parent Council holds 4 events throughout the school year. To ensure the success of these events, we need the help of parents/guardians.  All we are asking is for an hour of your time to volunteer at one of these events. Please fill out the form you received from your child's teacher and return to the school as soon as possible. Thank you for your time.  If you have any questions/concerns please leave a message for a Parent Council member at the school.

Remember: Our AGM is coming up on Sept. 23 at 6:30pm in the Library

Sincerely,
Stevenson Parent Council
