Dear Parents and Friends:
Welcome to the month of March at Huntsville Public School. I am finding myself in Olympic withdrawal at the moment. The staff and students at HPS definitely captured the Olympic spirit and the sense of what it means to be a proud Canadian. Our adopted Olympic athletes Bryce Davison and Jessica Dube really appreciated the banner the students sent to them at the Olympic village and sent the students pictures and a note of thanks. Jessica and Bryce will be competing at the World Figure Skating Championships in Torino Italy starting March 22nd.
I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome Mr. Best to our staff as he will be taking over the classroom duties of Mrs. Martin-Padfield who is taking a leave of absence until end of June.
Teachers are busy writing report cards as they will go home on Friday March 12th the last day of school before the March Break. Students will return from the break on Monday March 22nd.
Mrs. Mar has been busy running Battle of the Books at nutrition breaks. We should know our event winners before the end of the month who will go on and compete at the regional level.
I'd like to thank all the families who came out and supported our Spaghetti dinner fundraiser. Over 200 plates of spaghetti were served with endless trays of desserts. A huge thank you goes out to our Parent Council who spent many hours organizing the event and to everyone who volunteered either their time or provided food items. Only two plates of spaghetti were spilled and one plate broken.
Congratulations go out to those students who participated in our Public Speaking Contest. Representing our school at the Lions Speaking Contest held at St. Marys Public School was Allyson Renwick, Emilly Jones and Julie Eaton. Allyson placed second at St. Marys and will now be go onto the next level.
I hope everyone has a safe and relaxing March Break and I look forward to seeing everyone back at school on Monday March 22nd. If you are in the school please do not hesitate to stop by the office and say hi.
Sharon Stahls
Principal
Every Student, Every Day, SUCCESS!
