Happy return from your long week end!

Hi Everyone,
It was great meeting most of you last week. I look forward to the year working along side of you all to help support, grow and build on your childs confidence and learning. We had another long week end. I hope you got out and enjoyed the fresh fall air before it turns to snow! Eeek!
This coming week there is a lot going on at the school. Milk orders are due on Today. If you have not sent those in please do so. Choir sign up is was this morning at little recess for grade 1 &2. I know a lot of your children are looking forward to this and have gone to sign up. If you wish to volunteer at school the parent orientation is tonight at 6:30 and parent council is at 7pm for those interested in attending. Thursday is our big night at 7h00. Please be sure that at least one of you can come to the reading information night. If you cannot make it, let me know and we can arrange a time to meet to go over what was discussed. We ask that you bring a post dated check for June 20th, 2016 in the amount of $15.00. This check is a deposit on the CD as well for any lost books or puzzle pieces. If everything is returned at the end of the year, the check will be given back to you. However if puzzle pieces, CD or books are lost it will be cashed to replace these items. Friday all Friendship builder course registration forms are due.
We have our Gala basket theme for this year which is "Family out about town". The class that fills their basket first gets a pizza party for their efforts. We have already some items donated on our list (way to go parents!!) These baskets are available to purchase at the Gala. Those of you new to school this year. The Gala is AMAZING! It raises money that we other wise wouldn't have to put towards things such as the books in the reading room, sports activities, installation of smart boards, math manipulatives....the list goes on. If you haven't got your tickets let me know and I can get a form to you. There is also a west jet raffle for a free trip for two anywhere west jet fly's. I will attach the link for our classroom basket below.

We have Mme Elaine coming in on Wednesday to do a class art project that you will be able to purchase at the Gala. On Thursday we have a guest speaker coming in to chat with us about the importance of listening.
Terry Fox run is on Monday, don't forget. You can come to the assembly as well. We have a couple of guest speakers, one girl named Samantha, who has survived the same type of cancer as Terry and my good friend John Connolly will be on Skype with us all the way from PEI to chat about the play he has written and sing some songs.

I think that's about it for now on updates. I hope to send the reading packages home soon, so look for those. Have a great week!
