It is hard to believe that December is right around the corner. With the beautiful weather, our students have been enjoying lots of outside time. They see how the leaves and grass have changed, they observe “critters” in their natural habitat and how they burrow to plan for the winter. Our students have been taking lots of pictures and digitally documenting their learning. We are environmental stewards, and the more students learn about Langdon’s unique landscape, the more they can do to preserve it.
Our recent Remembrance Day assembly showcased the talents of all our students. It was a very reflective and moving ceremony. A special thank you to everyone who contributed to our Veterans Food Drive. If you would like to see the grade 4 and 5 students practice before the service, you can tune into our Sarah Thompson School Youtube site.
As well, follow us on Twitter at SarahThompsonSc to see the other wonderful things our students are doing.

Just a reminder that Sarah Thompson School has a clothing bin set up at in the Buy–Low parking lot. We are so fortunate to have the support of our local businesses. Any gently used clothing can be placed in the bin. The clothing is taken, weighed and given to people in need. In turn, the school receives a small donation. This is a win-win for everyone and we sincerely thank all those people who have supported us.
As this is the season of reflection and giving thanks, on behalf of the Sarah Thompson School staff, we would like to take a moment to thank all our incredible volunteers and supporters. We know, “it takes a village to raise a child”, and we are so fortunate to have so many thoughtful individuals that give so selflessly to our school. Our school culture can only benefit for this support and we know that this enhances the learning experiences of our students.
