On Monday I had the pleasure of visiting Versailles Hair on Bank Street for an experiential learning opportunity. Students were given an outline of the program and then had the opportunity to have their hair done. Thank you to our Head of Student Services, Ms. Paniccia, for organizing this fun and informative visit.

Immunizations
Immunizations take place on November 18 (grade 8) and 19 (grade 7). Please be on the lookout for the immunization forms which students will bring home this week. Once the form is carefully completed, students are to personally hand the form to the public health nurse on the day they are to be immunized.
