    Swimming Lessons: All next week, students will have the opportunity to participate in
    the school-wide swimming program. Our class will be leaving Belfast at 9:20am.
    Mental Math Practice: Please help your child at home to practice their mental math
    skills for addition and subtraction of numbers up to 20. Asking them simple equations
    (8+3, 15-4, etc) will help them to develop mental math fluency to help lessen their
    reliance on using their fingers.
    This update is CASL compliant. Please refer to the Belfast Website for other important
    dates/events to the school community.
