Our theme this year is “Heroes & Superheroes”. For the past 8 years, OES has welcomed a real-life hero to its Remembrance Day Ceremony. Unfortunately this year Sergeant Langlois was not able to join us as he is on a mission overseas. The link below will take you to a tribute to Sergeant Langlois from our students. Enjoy!

Here are a few simple ways to get your kids reading pages and pages of text with absolute confidence.
Supporting good fluency can be summarized by three strategies:
Model fluent reading – Read aloud together – Reread favourite books
