Our Lady of the Way School will hold a book fair Wednesday, Oct. 24 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Anyone interested in helping out can contact Theresa Sharp at 483-5874.
The Terry Fox Run says thanks to Mrs. Davidson and Mrs. Armstrong for organizing this event. OLW raised $100, which was sent to the Terry Fox Foundation for cancer research.
A big thank you also to everyone who participated.
Meanwhile, OLW’s annual walk-a-thon was a great success. The weatherman co-operated and everyone had a great time. Those who participated are asked to make sure their pledge sheets are handed in so organizers can proceed with the drawing of prizes.
Staff members at OLW who were missed in the last newsetter included Blaine Frenette (head custodian) and Jody Jolicouer (support staff). OLW also thanked Jolicourr for her service as education assistant.
As part of its school improvement plan, OLW is trying to raise the level of literacy of students from JK to grade eight. As such, they are in the process of purchasing books for the primary grades.
If you have any books in good condition suitable for elementary school students and wish to donate them, bring them to the office.
