One Planet January 2021 blog

Happy 2021!


We all have hopes for a better 2021 since 2020 was strange, to say the least. However, we learned to adjust to new guidelines and the new "normal" as well as we could. What we can pride ourselves on is how we have been striving to help our children deal with this new reality and to have joy in their lives. Our school was open to in-person education until winter break and it was so good to see students happy and engaging with their peers and staff.

The Afterschool program had to make some changes as well. We needed to move to the gym and arrange all furniture and supplies to fit the new space and comply with health guidelines. Snacks were still served, homework time was available and we spent a lot of time outside - something that all children were happy about! We hosted two big events: Lights On Halloween Carnival and a Holiday Event, both very well attended. 

Now, we are very pleased to be able to offer a full and interesting schedule for our winter term. Students can sign up for programs like basketball skill building, STEM workshop, outdoor adventure, ice skating, sledding, snow shoeing and folktale and storytelling. Registration forms were emailed to families and paper copies will be available at the school. 

We are all eager for school to start. Please consider signing up your children for one or all of afterschool programs so they can have some fun and learn new things at the same time. 

See you soon!
