Hi Everyone,

I hope you have all been getting out to enjoy the sunshine.  We have had a busy week at Fairview which included the Terry Fox Run and our Open House on Thursday night.

Information/Reminders/Thank you's

*I am currently coaching basketball and cross country after school, so I just wanted to let you know that if you are unable to pick up your child by 2:25 I will be sending him/her to the office area to wait for you.  That way your child will be in a safe environment and I can meet up with the students to begin practice on time.  Thanks for help and understanding with this.

*We will be sending a notice home on Monday regarding our first skating field trip.  This will be happening on the morning of October 14th (details will be on the form).  Parent drivers will be needed for this field trip.  Thanks so much!

*Our class is spearheading the 'Friends in Need Food bank' Thanksgiving Food Drive.  We began our efforts by making posters and labeling/delivering boxes to the other classes.  Next week students will begin daily announcements to encourage others to donate for this worthy cause.  Non-perishable food items will be collected from Monday to Friday next week.  Thank you in advance for your donations :)

*Thank you to everyone who volunteered at the Terry Fox Run and/or sent in donations.  It was a big success!

*Thank you for joining us for the open house on Thursday night.  If you were unable to make it but would like to come by and see your child's classroom just let me know and we can arrange a time.

*A reminder to send in your earthquake kit if you have not already done so.  I also encourage parents to send a change of clothes in a clearly marked bag that can be kept at school as we will be going out side regularly, rain or shine

*We have decided to postpone our field trip to Save On Foods until January and plan to focus on Bats for the month of October.  We hope to plan a field trip around this theme in November and will notify you once we have secured a date.  Thank you!

Enjoy the weekend, everyone!
