Month: November 2018

Hello all,

Last week was filled with animal research projects, a visit from the Vancouver College Dental  Hygiene team and a fun Jiu jitsu session.  Thanks again for your dedication to ensuring we have enough drivers for our Grouse Mountain field trip. Right now I am looking at the most efficient way we are able to get to Grouse so we don’t have too many cars and no one has to make two trips. I will be communicating this information ASAP.

Looking at the week ahead:

Monday: Computers * we are practicing “All The Right Type”

Tuesday: Gym and Music *Runners and Water Bottles

Wednesday: Gym *Runners and Water Bottles

Thursday:  Library Book Exchange.

Friday:  Music

Ways to be involved this week:

Morning Tai Chi,  please feel free to join us. 

Important information regarding our Winter Fundraiser and Field Trip

Winter Fundraiser

On Friday, I sent in our classes order.  I anticipate I will be getting the order back by December 10th.

We were able to raise $80 dollars for The Red Fox Society! which I will be using to purchase winter socks.

Thanks again for all your support!

Field Trip

Field Trip order forms went home on Friday. Please return them to school on Monday. More information will be sent out once I have confirmed drivers.

A friendly reminder to please let me know if your child does not have clothing that is suitable for snow. This way I am able  locate items to borrow, alternatively, if you happen to have extra you are able to lend for this field trip that also would be greatly appreciated.

As always please let me know if you have any questions.

Coming up: 

December 7th: Breakfast with Santa

December 20th: Winter Concert

Thanks,

Popcorn Sale- Please bring a dollar if your child would like to purchase popcorn

Winter Fundraiser

After looking into and exploring a few different ideas I have decided that Div. 20 will be giving back to their community by supporting an organization called The Red Fox Society.

“Red Fox Healthy Living Society has two complementary missions: to promote healthy active living among Indigenous and inner-city children and youth, and build employment and life skills among Indigenous youth and young adults. We fulfill our missions by providing free and supportive training and recreation opportunities to children, youth and families throughout Metro Vancouver.”

https://redfoxsociety.org/  – Feel free to take a look at the website here.

I spoke with one of the organizers on the phone last week and ask what they were in most need of and they let me know it was winter socks.

We will be working with our buddy class this week to create a  winter picture. I will be sending home a fundraising Order Form for you to have the opportunity to  purchase a  variety of items like holiday cards, puzzles or magnets with your child’s art on it. Approximately  30% of the proceeds will allow me to buy socks for the organization we are supporting.

Field Trip

On Wednesday, December 19th I am planning to take Div. 20 to Grouse Mountain to go Snowshoeing and take part in a variety of outdoor activities. The children seem really excited and so am I! I am needing to confirm drivers with SNOW TIRES ASAP in order for me to confirm we are able to attend the field trip.

More information to come regarding this field trip but for the mean time please let me know if you are able to drive/volunteer!

Also children will need to have snow clothing, this includes winter boots, jacket, pants, toque and 2 pairs of gloves.

If you do not have these items not to worry but please let me know and I will begin to locate items, alternatively, if you happen to have extra you are able to lend for this field trip that also would be greatly appreciated.

As always please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Megan
