Hello Families of Coyote Creek!

We hope you have been staying dry during our recent rainy weather this past week. We know many of our students enjoyed playing outside during this past week at school during our west coast fall weather! 

Volleyball season continues with many early morning and afternoon practices in our gym. We are looking ahead to playing games soon against neighbouring schools. Thank you to Mr. Stevens, Ms. Fontana and Mr. Johal for your coaching leadership this season. 

Our chess club had a terrific week as well with the conclusion of a school-wide chess competition! Congratulations to Samuel Lu for winning the Coyote Creek Chess competition! Additional congratulations should go also to finalists Shirmi Chen and Jordan Manhas for also placing within this competition! Our sincere gratitude to Ms. Edwards for making this great game available to our students and for providing them with great personalized t-shirts. 

We also want to highlight some terrific learning opportunities happening in Ms. Johnson's K/1 class. Our primary students enjoyed some letter/number finding and themed activities in literacy and numeracy.  

Finally, we would like to inform our parent and school community that our crossing guard, Ms. Jenna will be absent this coming week and we request that all families take care when crossing at the crosswalk and obey all traffic laws to keep our families safe and healthy.

Thank you,

Coyote Creek Staff
