Aboriginal Presentation & Dance!

 

On Monday, the Kindergarten children enjoyed a wonderful presentation about the Métis culture. Jaime, a family friend of Paul, one of our Kindergarten students, came in to share some interesting information about her Métis culture & show us an aboriginal dance. The children enjoyed a story, learning about the Métis alphabet, & participating in a Métis jig dance. Everyone loved dancing & moving to the music!!

St.Rita Program Night Information Booklet

Welcome!

We would like to welcome all our new and returning kindergarten students and their parents to St.Rita school. Today was our first day with all our JK and SK students. For the first month, our focus will be on implementing new routines. We are thankful for all the blankets, shoes and suggested supplies that have already come in. At home, when putting on shoes and coats, please take some time each day to encourage independent dressing. Children feel more confident at school when they are self-sufficient in their cubby routines.
