September 20/18

Hi Everyone,

I hope you have all had a chance to get outside and enjoy the sunshine while it was here.  Fall is definitely in the air!

Updates/Reminders/Thank you's

*please send in the $7.00 for planners if you have not already done so (or you have the option to pay online via the parent portal)

*thank you to the parents who have shown an interest in being part of the Terry Fox Run.  We will be meeting in the gym at 1:00 on Wednesday for the warm up and will head out onto the course from there.  ****Please remember that your child is only able to join us on the course if you have given consent via the parent portal****

*if you would like to volunteer to come on the walk/run, please email me at amanda_roberts@sd42.ca    If you prefer to be at a stationary check-point to help monitor student safety, please contact our Terry Fox Run coordinator, Celeste Boyes at celeste_boyes@sd42.ca

*we will be presenting a cheque to Fred Fox (Terry's brother) for all of the donations we collect on Friday, September 28th.  If you would like to send in a donation, please do so before this date.  Thank you!

*please send in labeled school supplies and inside shoes if you have not already done so

*there are 4 sheets posted inside the classroom door.  These are for parents to sign up for a class party. Please come in and choose a date if you are at the school or send me an email if you would like me to sign you up.  The choices are Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's Day and June.  Thank you!

*we have booked 3 dates for skating this year.  Here they all are in case you would like to 'save the date'  All of our sessions are on Thursdays at 1:00 at Planet Ice  (October 18, December 13, February 28)

*we are planning on creating a masterpiece using fall leaves.  If each student could bring in 10 dry leaves for this craft that would be much appreciated.  They can be all different shapes and sizes and you can send in more if you like but please make sure they are dry before they are sent in.

*Tuesdays we will be going out to the forest, rain or shine (unless it is a torrential down pour)  Please ensure that your child is dressed appropriately for this.  I am still revising my schedule and hope to find a second date to exercise/explore outside as well.  We do have 'west coast' recess/lunch so your child should come to school prepared to be outside and active everyday!

*starting next week, I will be coaching cross country Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays after school.  If your child is not picked up on time those days, I will be asking them to wait by the office so that I know they are in a safe place until you arrive.  If your child is interested in cross country, they will bring home a form this week.

*please send in the 'Get Acquainted' and Parent Volunteer forms if you have not already done so

*ProD Day on Monday, no school for students

*Please see the calendar on this blog for other important dates coming up in the next two weeks.
Thank you!
