Dear Fieldstone Community,
Our students were so good at the Legion Public Speaking contest! Fieldstone won the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place at the Elementary level, and 2nd place at the Junior level. This Sunday (March 9), all three levels (Elementary, Junior, and Intermediate) will have another round of competition against students from other schools. We wish our brilliant speakers all the best!
Our students had their group photos taken on Monday. They looked wonderful in their smart Number One uniforms! On Wednesday, we had House Games, led by our amazing House Captains and Vice Captains. Houses teamed up to play ‘Tug of War.’ The competitive spirit of our students was at its peak – especially when the Kinders to Grade Twos took to the floor! Please enjoy the photos below.
On Thursday, our Grade Sevens organised a fun-filled ‘Karaoke Party,’ where pre-requested and selected songs were played and the singing talents of our students were on display! All proceeds collected from the $2 ticket will go to the fund we are collecting for the Children’s Aid Foundation.
Our Week ended with a ‘Cultural Day’ on Friday. Display boards showing research and food booths were set up in the school cafeteria. Students and parents had a great time! We raised $808 for the Children’s Aid Foundation! This would not have been possible without the support of the wonderful parents who so generously helped with the food, our amazing teachers who helped with the projects and the food booths, and, of course, our students – whose energy and enthusiasm know no bounds. Thank you to everyone!
Today, March Reports will be available for viewing on Connect. If you are unable to view the reports, please send an email to [email protected].
Happy International Women’s Day on Saturday, March 8!
After March break, students from K – 7 will be expected to wear Number One uniform at least once a week, on designated days. We want our students to look smart and wear their school uniform with pride! Parents will find the Number One dress day schedule in the ‘Weekly Updates’ folders in every week’s Friday Files.
Thirteen Fieldstone students from Grade Three to Grade Seven will participate in the Kangaroo Math Contest on March 23rd, and eight Fieldstone students from Grade Five to Grade Ten will participate in the Toronto Science Fair on March 28 – 29. We wish them all the very best of luck.
As a friendly reminder, there is a time change this weekend. On Sunday at 2:00 a.m., clocks “spring forward” an hour, marking the start of daylight-saving time.
We trust everyone will have an enjoyable two weeks of March Break. Classes resume on March 24.
Wishing you and your families a wonderful March break!
Sincerely,
Shumaila Khan

Character Counts! Pins Programme
Character building is important at Fieldstone, where we truly believe that character counts. The Character Counts! programme has found that there are at least six values that should be taught to all children. These are known as the “Six Pillars of Character”. Fieldstone students work diligently towards earning their Character Pins (photos on the right). We are very proud of them! Several students have been working diligently on their Character pins! You can find out more about the Character Counts Pin Programme HERE. If your child would like to participate in this wonderful programme, please ask your child to see Ms. Butcher.
