The countdown until Christmas is on!  There is a lot of excitement in the building as we make crafts, enjoy Christmas music and prepare for our upcoming concert.  I hope you all enjoy our performance next week.

Updates/Reminders/Thank you's

*please get your ticket from Eventbrite if you plan on attending the Christmas concert, this goes for both the day time and evening performance.  Tickets are almost sold out!  If you do not have tickets you are welcome to attend our dress rehearsal on Tuesday at 9:00.  This are always a little bit 'unpolished' but worth seeing if you are unable to attend at another time

*we are singing 'Dominic the Donkey' for our Christmas concert this year.  We have 7 Dominic hats for each class and the volunteers who are going to wear these are:  Josh, Eugene, Antonio, Sophia, Ryanna, Madden and Lucas.  It worked out perfectly as these were my only volunteers so no one was disappointed.  These students should wear black and/or grey for the concert if at all possible.  The rest of the class are encouraged to wear black pants, white tops, bow ties (if you have one), a fedora (if you have one) or a dress if they prefer.  Please do not feel that you have to go out and purchase any new clothes, Dr. Saul had the great idea to set it up like a restaurant in Italy so we are trying to work with in that theme if possible.

*our grade 7 student's Entrepreneur Fair is tomorrow, we will be attending in the afternoon if you child would like to bring money to purchase something

*A portal announcement regarding our upcoming skating field trip on December 13th is now on the portal.  Driver's will be needed (please ensure you have an updated abstract if you would like to volunteer)   We only have one driver at this point who can take 4 students.  Please sign up asap so that we know if we need to try to arrange other transportation or cancel the field trip.  Thank you!


*Please mark your calendar:  Thursday, January 31 we will be going to Science World as part of our unit on nutrition/the human body.  We will be hiring a bus to take us to/from this field trip but we will require a few parent volunteers


*Please pay the fees for 'Owls and More' if you have not already done so.  There are also still some outstanding charges for planners.  Thank you

*Your children did a fantastic job of being 'Santa's helpers' today (see below).  The toys that were collected/purchased will be on display during the concert.  Thank you for your support!

PS.  The first photos is what happens when you ask a group of people to say 'Ho Ho' for a picture :)  The second, Merry Christmas option is a little better ;)
