Oct. 18/19

Hello Everyone,

It will be a short blog this week due to the email I sent at the beginning of the week.

Updates/Reminders/Thank you's

*just a reminder that Thursday is library day and Forest Fun.  Students are welcome to bring their books early and put them in our library bin once they are done. I also would like to encourage parents to send in an extra set of clothes/ensure your child is dressed for the weather so that we can enjoy our 'Forest Fun' rain or shine
*thank you for making arrangements for the Emergency Release yesterday, it seemed to go quite smoothly and I thought the students handled the situation well
*Halloween is fast approaching.  We will be having our party in the afternoon on October 31st (please note: students can wear costumes and should still bring a lunch; no weapons, please)  Here is the list of people who have signed up to bring snacks:

Natalie (fruit plate)
Noah (veggie plate)
Tristan (cheese and crackers)
Navien (sweet treat)
Ekan (popcorn or chips)
Jack (juice boxes)

*we will be having a Pajama Day in our class on November 1st (one less thing for you to do with sleepy children the day after Halloween :))  We will still have Family Reading that morning
*we continue to be very short of drivers for our skating field trip.  I will notify you if we need to cancel.  If you are sending in rental money, please clearly label the baggie/envelope so that I can return it to you if need be. If you haven't signed up, please do so by Monday so that I can make a decision and notify Planet Ice.
*please send in earbuds/headphones and inside shoes for your child if you have not already done so.  Thank you!
*planners are $7.00 and can be paid for by cash/cheque or online via the parent portal
*if you have any extra tennis balls, racquet balls (for wall ball), basketballs or soccer balls to donate to the class that would be much appreciated.  Most of the equipment I purchased for the year has already been lost or roofed.
*a reminder that next Friday, October 25th is a ProD Day. There will be no school for students.

Have a great weekend, everyone!
