LEST WE FORGET

I hope everyone enjoyed the extra long weekend and that we were all able to take time to think of our fallen soldiers on November 11th.  It is so important to remember and such a valuable lesson for the children so I thank you for taking the time to talk to your child and for everyone who wore a poppy.  LEST WE FORGET!

Just a few reminders...
  • Thank you to everyone who sent in Food Bank items and candy for Agape...we had a TON of donations and it was so nice to see so many students participating in these activities.  We took the food to the Cloverdale Fire Hall as they will transport it to the Surrey Food Bank for us but they were AMAZED at how much we brought in!  THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
  • Scholastic Book Orders are due this Wednesday.  If you are purchasing Christmas gifts and you would like it to be a surprise for your child, please write "SECRET" at the top and I will make sure I get the books to you directly (rather than in your child's backpack where they tend to look what is inside :o)
  • 50s Day is Monday, November 18ths and students are asked to dress in 1950s style clothing.  If you need any ideas or have any questions, please let me know.  It should be lots of fun!!!
  • I sent home a worksheet asking your child to find out more about their Baptism.  This worksheet is due back on Tuesday, November 19th.  If you attach a photo, please be assured that it will be returned:o)
  • Report Cards will be coming home on Friday, November 22nd and a note should be coming home this week about Three Way Conferences.  On Thursday, November 28th and on Friday, November 29th, we set up conference times to have a meeting with parents, the teacher and the student to discuss their progress so far.  The conference usually takes about 10 minutes and it gives all of us a chance to discuss our first term together.  Please note that there is no school on November 29th due to morning conferences.  Thank you!
  • STAR OF THE WEEK:  Nemo, our class fish, enjoyed being our recent Star of the Week but before that, we were able to celebrate Derek!  Here are a few things his friends had to say about him...
Derek is a great friend
He plays nicely.
He prints neatly.
He is polite.
He is a nice friend.
 
Keep shining, Derek!  You are a star!
 
Enjoy the week, everyone and God bless you!
