Hello and Happy Friday!
Here are some weekly updates from the School Council:
First off, we want to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who made our Annual Christmas Market another success! To all of the staff and volunteers who helped with planning, organizing and facilitating the event during the day, we appreciate you so much! To our community who donated their time and resources, as well as those who baked incredible treats to donate to our bake sale, to the talented vendors, our kid lane vendors, and to YOU for showing up and supporting these local artists and our school.
We look forward to this market every year and we couldn't do any of it without you!
The Giving Tree
The holidays can be a challenge for some families to make ends meet, and every year our school council and administration team come together to help support some families who may need a little extra this time of year.
This year, our admin staff have set up a GIVING TREE just outside the front office. The tree is adorned with orange tags, and on each tag is an amount and store that you can choose to purchase a gift card from. Once purchased, you can drop by the office to leave the tag and gift card with our staff, who will then distribute the financial gifts to some families who need the extra help this holiday season.
We encourage you to grab a tag from the tree at school drop off or pick up time, and if you would like to donate in another way, please reach out to our admin staff. We are so grateful for your generosity, and hope you have a wonderful holiday season!
Popcorn Day and Fun Lunch
Our next fun lunch day is on Thursday, December 12, which means orders need to be placed by tomorrow, Saturday, December 7.
Our next popcorn day is Thursday, December 19 which means orders need to be placed by Saturday, December 14.
*Kindergarten students can only participate in Popcorn days.
Please visit healthyhunger.ca to register your student and place your order. The fun lunch and popcorn day dates have been pre populated for the whole year so you can go ahead and place your order before each date, or all at once, whichever you prefer! Unfortunately we will not be able to accept late orders as the vendors are strict with their order deadlines.
