Hi Everyone,

I hope you all enjoyed Spring Break and were able to spend some family time together.  We had a great time with our grandparents today, showing them some of the activities we have done to learn all about our great country!  Anyone who didn't have a grandparent of their own, shared with a friend and they had a fantastic time!

Updates/Reminders/Thank you's

*Please sign up for our upcoming field trip to the Maple Ridge Library on April 10th, via the parent portal
*Please sign up to drive for this field trip if you are able, we are currently short 5 spaces
*The library forms were picked up today.  If you were unable to return the form in time, please take it directly to the Maple Ridge Library by April 6th.  Students will not be able to take out a library book on the field trip day if they haven't handed in the form.  Also, please send in your child's library card on the 10th if they already have one.
*Your child will have brought his/her sock Easter bunny and Easter poems today so you can enjoy those together over the weekend.  They can now stay at home :)
*Thank you to Vienna's mom for baking Canadian flag cookies for our Grandparent's Day and Miranda for helping out at the station (parents from Mrs. Rowledge-Toscani's class)

Happy Easter!

Hi Everyone,

Spring break is just around the corner and everyone is excited about the family time they will be sharing.  We have had a fun and busy week in Division 8.  Our 'Jumprope for Heart' kick off assembly was today and Mr. Roberts came in to teach your children some cartooning.  They did a great job applying what he taught them.

Updates/Reminders/Thank you's

*Club Red Celebration is tomorrow.  Please wear red and send in any finished calendars if you have not already done so
*Your children have all received a 'Jumprope for Heart' envelope.  They can use these to collect pledges in person or use the online option which is on the front of the envelope.  Our 'Jumprope' event will be on Tuesday, April 10th and pledges will be due the following week.
*Just a reminder to check your planners each day as your children often write reminders in them and there are sometimes forms that need to be returned in a short time frame
*A reminder that Grandparents day is coming up on Thursday, March 29th (afternoon).  If your child does not have grandparents that are available then any adult that is important to them is welcome :)

I hope you all enjoy a wonderful spring break!

Hi Everyone,

I hope you all enjoy the long weekend.  Thank you to everyone for signing up for a conference.  It has been great to watch to students share there work in the hallway and discussing the growth they have made when we all meet.

Updates/Reminders/Thankyous

*Club Red Calendars are due, please send them in (with each square initialled) either during your child's conference or on Monday.  Thank you!
*Thank you to parents who have sent in items for our PAC fundraiser.  Our theme is:  Spa Day so if you anyone would like to contribute by sending in money or an item to add to the basket that would be much appreciated
*Special dates in March are now on the calendar on this blog, please note that 'Grandparents Day' is on Thursday, March 29th (the day before Good Friday).  A grandparent or other special family member are welcome to attend (times to follow)
*100 Day was a huge success, the variety of wearable 100 day projects was impressive!

Enjoy the sunshine, everyone!

PS.  I know many of you have seen these 100 day projects during the conference visit but they make me smile every time I look at them so I thought you might enjoy seeing them again (or for parents who couldn't make it to the school)
