6th Grade Ice Cream Social

12/21/2018

 
Recently, 6th grade finished reading The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton, a book that follows two rival groups, the Greasers and the Socs, who are divided by their socioeconomic status. 
To celebrate the end of the unit, students got into the theme, dressing up as either Greasers or Socs, and enjoyed an ice cream Sunday party before watching the The Outsiders movie.

8th Grade attends WE Day!

9/27/2018

 
This past Wednesday, the 8th grade class was lucky enough to attend WE Day - an annual celebration that brings together over 200,000 people across Canada, the US and the UK, and features an amazing lineup of world-renowned speakers and performers.  This years line-up included Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Martin Luther King III, Yuan Manuel Santos, Nas, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez among many, many others.

The WE movement is all about young people learning to develop good citizenship skills, and enabling and empowering them to take action and be change-makers both locally and globally - we are sure that our 8th grade class left WE Day full of inspiration to make a positive impact and make a difference!

Grades 4-8: School Agendas

9/8/2018

 
Learning to be organized is a process - a skill that needs to be taught, practiced, and honed. Teachers will be reinforcing these skills with their students throughout the year and request that all students have a planner ready to use by October 1st.

Families can purchase the 217 school agenda by returning the form below with $7 cash (correct amounts only) or a check payable to PS/IS 217 PTA.

Note: If you ordered the school supply kit last June, your child has already received a 217 agenda and bag tag as part of their kit.

Sping Concert Night for Grades 2-8

6/6/2018

 
Parents, relatives, and family friends were thoroughly entertained tonight by the music performances from Grades 2-8!

Students really shone in their performances - the culmination of a years hard work in music classes. Grade 2 students gave their best choral performance, Grade 3 harmonized on the recorder, and Grades 4-8 gave some terrific band performances. Congratulations to our students on a job well done, and a big thank you to Mr Ladalia and our teachers for putting on such a tremendous show!
