Dear Parents,
Elboya School’s Open House last evening was well
attended and staff met with many students and parents who are interested in
attending Elboya School next year.
William Reid Grade 4 students toured Elboya School in the morning with
the help of Grade 5 ambassadors. We appreciated the students who helped out by
participating in presentations, giving tours, or in any way.

Principal
Drama News – S. Park
I am very excited to announce
the names of the two one-acts for the Spring Drama Production! The first is
"How to Succeed in High School Without Really Trying" by Jonathan
Rand and the second is "This Is A Test" by Stephen Gregg. Both shows
are comedies and take place in a school. They and are very well-written and
offer the opportunity for many students to create fun and engaging characters.
Auditions will take place Monday, Feb. 9th until Wednesday Feb 11th and are
open to grade 7 to 9 students. Auditions will be at lunchtime and after school.
Please sign up outside the Drama room. If
you have any questions, please see Mrs. Park!
