Dear colleagues,
What a great, busy and inspiring week we had! The ultimate success of the Spirit Week was literally spirit lifting.
Thank you to Jen and Ava for leading the student council, all the faculty, and staff who participated and supported,
and naturally to the ES Student Council for their hard work. The weekend was busy for many teachers as they
participated for the first time or again to Ron Ritchhart Cultures of Thinking workshop. Observing and embracing
cultural forces that elicit thinking moves and deep thinking is becoming the true landscape and nature of learning at
Canadian Academy. We will have a great opportunity to continue the dialogue through LabSite and the afternoon
PD for the whole school faculty.

Other things during yet another busy week include assembly practice, APAC Soccer Tournament assembly,
and the ES assembly. Additionally, on Wednesday we will invite the parents in for tech workshop.
The good news is that although Monday is a longer day than usual, Wednesday will be finishing at 2:30 pm.
