If you are still doing some last minute shopping, remember that BOOKS make great gifts. Ten good reasons why books make the best presents:
 

Stack of books
  1. Books don’t have to be assembled.
  2. Books don’t need batteries.
  3. Books never come in the wrong size or colour..
  4. Books don’t need spare parts.
  5. Books don’t need to be serviced by the dealer.
  6. Books don’t need watering or fertilizer.
  7. Books don’t need extension cords..
  8. Books don’t have zippers that break.
  9. Books don’t bite, scratch or kick.
  10. Books never go out of style.

Time for Christmas Break! Enjoy the holiday season and all the best for the New Year!

backgammonThe school year is going well and Brant Avenue continues to be a very busy place. The rainy weather has meant a lot of indoor recesses which make it difficult for students to run off excess energy. We would welcome the donation of any board games or any decks of cards that you are not using at home. Please send them to the office or to your child’s classroom.
