PLAYGROUND INCIDENT
In case your child came home telling you about a student getting their leg caught on the playground it is true. The student’s leg was stuck on the walking bridge between the metal and the rubber piece. With the help of many our maintenance crew was able to cut the chain holding the bridge. I then had them take the entire bridge down. We do not want this to happen again. I may look for a safer replacement.

St. Michael T-Shirts – Last year we gave every child a gold t-shirt to wear for special school occasions. I would like to see how they fit so I we can do a hand me down or hand me up session. I would like every child that has a St. Michael t-shirt, gold, green, grey, etc. to wear it next Thursday, September 29, on the Feast of St. Michael. Students need to wear their shirt with their school pants, skirt or over their jumper. Some were returned and I took them home and washed them. If they cannot find their shirt or do not have one students will need to be in full uniform. If the t-shirt does not fit please send it to school, CLEANED. I will try and do some t-shirt exchanging. I will also be able to estimate how many new shirts I may need to order. Thank you.
We’re gonna walk.
We’re gonna ride.
We’re gonna run, run, run.
