Thank you to everyone whom I spoke with during conferences. It was a pleasure to share your child's learning successes with you.

Much of what we covered this week was shared with you during our meetings. 

Please take time to share a family tradition with your child as outlined in the pink note I gave you. We will start sharing these traditions next week and will continue the following week. Please have your child practice what they will say with you prior to having them share with the class.

Now that we are into the snowy and cold weather, please have your child practice zipping up their jacket, putting on their boots, and securing their gloves and mitts independently. I appreciate your support with this as I cannot help all 22 children with these tasks.

Please have your child return their yellow folder on Monday as well as their library book.

Please set aside Thursday, December 11th at 1:30 for our Grade 1 Christmas/Winter Celebration. It will be a short and sweet sharing of holiday and winter songs - probably a half hour or so.

Here are some updates from the office:

The Magic of Christmas

Every Christmas Eve, The Magic of Christmas loads up Calgary Transit buses that are magically transformed into “reindeer buses”, with hundreds of gifts and volunteers dressed as Santa and his elves.  Then they deliver Christmas spirit into the homes and hearts of those who need it most. 

From now to December 18, students and staff can bring in a new, unwrapped donation items (not food) and place them in the boxes located in the front foyer.  

Please see the attached wish list for ideas of items to donate.

Thank you for your support!
