Shape of the Week - Feb 23 - 27

ROSS ELEMENTARY WEEKLY NEWSLETTER

Friday February 20th, 2026.

A Message from Your Principal, Mr. Frew

What a joyful and wonderfully Ross kind of week!

Where else can you find students cheering on Olympic athletes in the morning, basking in the sunshine at recess, and then heading out to build snowmen later that same day? Yes… that actually happened! Only in the Fraser Valley can we experience all four seasons by lunch time.

Inside the building, the learning continues to shine.

• Bake sales are bringing our community together (and filling the hallways with delicious smells!).
• Student-led conferences were a meaningful opportunity for your child to proudly share their growth, goals, and accomplishments with you. These moments of reflection are powerful and remind us why we do this work.

And believe it or not… we are just a couple short weeks away from Spring Break! The year is flying by, and we are grateful for the incredible partnership we share with all of you.

Thank you for being such an engaged, supportive, and enthusiastic school community.

Game on, Ross!
