As a system, each school is allocated a set number of tickets for students in grades 4-12. At Prince of Wales we have decided to provide this opportunity to our Grade 6 students only. Prince of Wales was provided 16 tickets (we have 35 grade 6 students). Students who wanted to attend We Day wrote a persuasive letter. We worked as team to select the 16 students, based on their letter and how they have demonstrated character and leadership who would attend as ambassadors for Prince of Wales School. Field trip forms will be coming home today with students who will be attending We Day. Halloween Note from Mrs. Bezugely Halloween is on Monday, October 31st!
