Hi Everyone,

I hope you are all enjoying your weekend!

We are off to a good start in Division 6.  We are working on building a classroom community and many new friendships are already developing.  We are also learning classroom routines and responsibilities and the day to day improvements in these areas are fantastic.  Keep up the great work, everyone!

Supplies

The majority of supplies have been brought in but some of the 'specialty' items are still outstanding at this point, particularly the water colour paint set, pastels and the USB stick.  I have some art lessons planned that will require the first two items soon and the USB stick will be needed in the upcoming weeks as we begin to publish some of our writing.

Terry Fox Run

We are running our annual 'Terry Fox Run' this upcoming Friday. For your child to participate on the course you will need to give permission for 'Walking Fieldtrips' via the parent portal.  If your child has not been registered via the portal (or a paper copy which I can send home if you write a note in your child's planner requesting one) then he/she will participate on the school grounds by walking around the fields. The run will be happening rain or shine and you are welcome to join us.  Parent volunteers are also needed so if you are able to do this, please let me know.  Thank you!

Food Bank

I also want to let you know that Division 6 has taken on the very important job of collecting food for the Friends in Need Foodbank.  We have already made reminder posters and delivered boxes and this week we will be making daily announcements over the school PA system.  The boxes will be picked up this Friday and will be distributed to people in need.  We hope that this helps everyone have something to be thankful for this Thanksgiving.

I do want to remind everyone that I do not check the email that corresponds to this Blog.  If you have any feedback, questions or comments please feel free to contact me via my work email:  Amanda_Roberts@sd42.ca  

Enjoy your weekend everyone!
