| All in the family! Jayden and his Nanny shop for TEAM 2017! #dollarama #climatecrew |
Our 2014-2015 school year is well underway, and I trust that your son/daughter is happy, settled in, and looking forward to an awesome school experience at Three Oaks this year! I will be updating this blog every weekend and, if we have your e mail on SAS, you will be receiving a weekly reminder to check it out! If you are NOT receiving my e mail pushes, please let us know!: nmhaire@edu.pe.ca
Thank you to all who could make it out for our "Meet the Staff" evening on Wednesday. We had a great turn out, and we look forward to partnering with you in your child's education this year. I will send the content of my slide show via e mail ASAP, and please let me know if you have any questions re: the content. Our partnership is like a three-legged stool comprised of effort from: the school, the student, and the parents/guardians. When we are all working together at full capacity and on the same page, anything is possible! I have visited almost all of the Block D classes by now, and my message to our students is clear: Work hard. Always do your best. Ask for help as needed. Treat others the way you want to be treated. Buy in and get involved! We have every faith in your son/daughter's ability to be the best they can be, and we're looking forward to a great year of learning and sharing together!

WELCOME BACK WEEK!
We had an awesome start to the school year! Our Climate Crew and Activities Council worked together in fine form running the Welcome Back Barbeque for new students the day before school started, Welcome Back Week Activities, TEAM 2017 "get to know you" morning for our Grade 10 class, and Clubs Day. Their mandate is to connect with as many students as possible early and I have witnessed lots of our student leaders walking that talk! Here are some pictures:
Welcome Back Barbeque 2014
PANCAKE BREAKFAST
BRING YOUR OWN BANANA (BYOB) DAY
GREEN AND GOLD DAY
TOSH TEAM 2017
CLUBS DAY
TOSH TERRY FOX WALK~ SEPT. 25
Our entire school community will participate in an abridged version of the Terry Fox Run on Thursday, Sept. 25 in the afternoon in order to raise much needed funds for cancer research and awareness about this terrible disease that has touched so many lives. Terry's dream of "$1 for every Canadian" is a good rule of thumb, so if we all bring at least a loonie donation to school that day, we will be able to make a substantial TOSH donation to the Canadian Cancer Society!
MEET THE PRESIDENT!
We have seven Councils at TOSH representing various interests: Activities, Athletics, Community Works, Fundraising and Finance, Multi-Media, Music, and Student Government. Each Council is represented by a President who sits at the Presidents' Council table with Ms. Haire on the first Monday of each month to discuss planning for school events and various school issues. Brohan Brennan (pictured above) is the one President elected by the entire student body. As Student Government Council President, he is the "voice" of his electorate and his Council's mandate is to evaluate and advise school policy and address student issues.
