December 2015 Reminders

Dear Parents,

A reminder to get Christmas concert ticket forms into the office as soon as possible. We look forward to seeing you there!

Jingle Mingle- our basket for any Emergency Supplies that you are able to donate is by our sign in board and I believe there is also a sign up near the front entrance to the school for volunteers.

Coat hook area- please encourage your children to pick up any belongings off of the floor as it makes it easier for our custodial staff to sweep. Much appreciated.

PE- please encourage your child to have shoes for the gym, particularly on wet days when boots are often worn to school.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Kam

Thank you for your support.

Christmas Concert- December 9 at Sutherland High School gym.

Jingle Walks- on Dec. 11 and Dec. 14 we will need a few parent volunteers. On the Friday, students will be handing out flyers for our annual donation drive, and on the Monday, students will be returning to collect donations left out by members of the community. It would be great to have at least 2 parent walkers on each day if possible, as well as a driver on the pick-up day.

Please let myself or Mrs. Faganello know if you are available.

Parent Volunteers- a new schedule will be coming out this week.

As we near the holidays, if you happen to know in advance if you will be taking holidays before (or after) Christmas Break, we ( and the office) would be grateful to know, as we can then plan accordingly.

Thank you.

It was a great day at Lynn Canyon! We started out with an exploration and group discussion inside the Ecology Centre, then we headed out onto the trails to explore and discover. We even crossed the suspension bridge, and for some it was the first time. I am very proud of all of you!

A BIG thank you to all of our drivers and helpers yesterday as well!
