Wednesday, September 25
Today we spent most of our time continuing with work that we had begun earlier this week or the week before, including our wetland plant and animal research, maps of Canada, and wetland watercolour artwork.
Today was also the first fun lunch of the year, and the fun lunch leaders were very excited to get to help by handing out students' ordered items in various classes. If you didn't order fun lunch for today but would like to participate in future lunches, you can still do so through Healthy Hunger's online site.
Tomorrow is our first Positive Choices reward! All students in our class will get some free time on the computer, and students are welcome to wear pajamas and bring stuffies and/or blankets if they so desire. As always, please don't allow students to bring anything to school that they would be devastated to lose; this is not the ideal time to bring in a stuffed animal with a lot of sentimental value.
The Terry Fox Run is this Friday! The weather is looking a little uncertain, so it is important for students to be dressed for the weather and ready to run! Pledge sheets came home at the end of last week, and students are also encouraged to bring in Toonies for Terry on Friday (or the surrounding days). We will begin our day with an assembly that will highlight the significance of Terry Fox and will also allow students the opportunity to hear from a cancer survivor (who is also a cancer pathologist) first hand.
As in past years, the Terry Fox Run will be preceded by a muffin breakfast, beginning at 8:00 on the compound. Remember, orders needed to be placed through Healthy Hunger for this event!
This coming Monday (September 30) is Orange Shirt Day. Students are invited and encouraged to wear an orange shirt if they can, to acknowledge the residential school experience, the healing journey of the survivors and their families, and to commit to the ongoing process of reconciliation.

Important Reminders:
I am still missing beginning of the year forms for some students. These forms are now a couple of weeks overdue, and it is imperative for the office to get them as soon as possible. We would appreciate your support in completing and returning any missing forms right away. Thank-you!Tomorrow is our first Positive Choices reward!
