Hello Owen Families,
Happy Victoria Day! We hope you enjoyed the good weather we had on Saturday!
You can find more history about why we celebrate Victoria Day at Canada's History for Kids and the cpac video Did You Know? - Victoria Day.
Thanks Owen for joining us at our Staff Drive By!
What a fun day on the Staff Drive By with Owen Staff!
Thank you Ms McRae for organizing the day!
If you followed the parade on route you were able to say hi and see the decorated cars, bikes and signs saying how much we miss our students!
Even our dogs were happy to say hello!
But the best was seeing our Owen families who came out to say hello!
It was great to see the signs and see the joy in connecting as a community. Thank you everyone for your support during the COVID-19 pandemic and keeping yourselves safe and healthy!
We would love to collect your photos and videos. Please upload your memories here on our Google Drive. It was a great Owen Day!

We may not be able to be in Owen, but we can certainly still enjoy walking by Owen and enjoying the Spring blooms! Claire and Vicky are two students new to Owen during school closure during the COVIC-19 pandemic. Thank you both for putting this video for all to enjoy!

Dancing with Lupita! - Grade 1 Zumba
Thank you Grade 1 students for joining Lupita, Ms Rosenbloom and other staff for our Zumba dance class last Friday. It was so much fun to see everyone dance and get fit to great music and moves. We loved seeing you bring in your brothers, sisters and parents too! Thank you Lupita for such a fun class!
We will be having sessions for each grade but not to worry! There will be other opportunities for Grade 1s to join again. Here's a sneak peak.
