Hoppy Leap Year - February 29, 2024

February 29th only happens once every four years so it's worth celebrating! Today we held a leap frogging competition in honour of Leap Year.

The winning class in the grade 5/6 category was 5B with a time of 1:40. 

Valentine's Day - February 14, 2024

Camo Day - January 19, 2024

Sometimes you can't see the forest for the trees. Today, it was more like spotting the students beneath all that camoflauge. Wonderful school spirit today!

Jersey Day - January 12, 2024

'Twas a cold, cold, day*
And the halls at TA
Had fewer students than norm
But those who were there
Had spirit to spare
In our Jerseys we were all toasty warm

*the "feels like" temperature with the windchill was -49°C

Pajama Day - December 21, 2023

What can be better than coming to your school in your pajamas? Easy! Staying in your pajamas for the next two weeks!!!! Here are just a few of our ready-for-the-holiday students and staff as we celebrate our last school day of 2023.

Christmas Hats & Sweaters - December 18, 2023

Dashing through the halls
In a Christmas sort of way
With festive hats and sweaters
'Cause that's the theme today

Candy Canes for Kindness - December 15, 2023

This week was Random Acts of Giving Week at T.A. Norris.  All week long, students were encouraged to do kind deeds, write notes of appreciation, or bring a small treat for a friend.  Our 7/8 Top Wolves Exploratory students decorated hundreds of candy canes and sold Candy Cane Grams for $1 each during lunch recess.  By Friday afternoon, they had surpassed their goal and were able to pass out 520 candy canes, each with a small card reminding students that they are loved and appreciated.  

When you give from the heart you get back as well!
