Hi Everyone,

Here are a few updates and requests for volunteers.  We have a busy few weeks ahead of us!

*we are still short drivers for our field trip to the ACT theater, please contact me if you are able to help out with this (see monthly calendar or the parent portal notice for details-all students must be given permission via the parent portal)
*volunteers are needed this upcoming Wednesday, January 27th.  We have planned some owl stations in the library and we would need your help from 12:45-2:00.  Please see me or write a note in your child's planner if you are able to help.  Thank you!
*February 3rd Divisions 6, 7 and 9 are putting on a bake sale.  This is a fundraiser so that we can 'adopt' some owls (by this we mean donate money to the OWL foundation so that they can take care of some owls on our behalf). We will need your help in order to make this a success.  Thank you in advance for supporting this endeavour.

1) Please send in some baked goods on that day
2) Please send in a loonie/twoonie for your child to purchase a treat
3) We will also need parent volunteers to help sell the goodies at recess (we'd need you about 9:20 to set up) until 10:30.  We would also need volunteers over the lunch break to sell treats (12:10-1:00)  If there are enough leftovers we will also sell on the 4th and will need volunteers for this.

As you know, we are studying owls at the moment and our students are very excited about the opportunity to help some injured/sick animals be taken care of so they can be released into the wild again (if possible).

Also, some of you may be eager to begin Valentine's cards.  Here is a list of the students in our class.  Please ensure that everyone is included.  Thank you!

Kaitlyn, Luca, Max, Myra, Danielle, Tony, Cameron, Kevin, Cadence, Kenyone, Duncan, Novah, Stephanie, Jaxon, Priya, Vincent, Emily, Daniel, Taylor, Jacob, Camille, Brianna, Young Hoon, Brayden

Our Valentine's Day party will be on February 14th.  Thanks in advance to these people for sending in treats:  Vincent (fruit plate), Luca (veggie plate), Kaitlyn (cheese/crackers), Priya (sweet treat), Jaxon (popcorn,chips or pretzels)

Have a great weekend everyone.  Please let me know if you are able to volunteer for any of the above activities.
