November 25th

It seemed like Grandparent Day was a huge success!  Thanks to everyone who was able to join us, I feel this experience is so valuable for your children.  Thanks also to those who helped those students who did not have anyone here.  Thanks to Averyelle's mom for doing the shopping and getting the icing ready for our Bat Cookies!
As you can see fun was had by all...

Thanks to everyone for attending conferences these last two days.  It has been great to celebrate your child's learning and to help set goals for our second school term.  Thanks for your support it is really important we are all a team working together as the saying goes it takes a village to raise a child!

Wednesday is going to be BAT DAY in Div. 7 & 8!  Could all students wear their bat hats and if they have brown or black pants and/or shirts that would be great too.  We have a fun day planned as we wind down our bat unit; we thought it would be fun to celebrate all that we have learned.  If anyone is willing to make 2 doz cupcakes (not iced) for Wednesday please let me know by email or Monday am.  Thanks so much, we are hoping to make a bat cupcake as a special treat!

Tuesday is Jersey Day Students are encouraged to wear their favourite sports jersey and if possible make a donation of $2.00 for Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows KidSport.
Another Leadership event is on Friday, Dec. 2 when it will be Crazy Hair Day!!  Should be fun!!

Our Christmas play will be coming soon (please see the calendar on this blog for the dates/times). Tickets are mandatory for the concert this year.  I am sending home an information letter on Monday as many have expressed that they missed the email from Mrs. Watkins or are unclear about 'how this is all working'
*we are singing 'I Want a Hippopotamus for Christms' and will be wearing pajamas and hippo ears.  Mrs. Carpenter has kindly offered to volunteer her time to make the hippo headbands and we are asking for $1/student to cover the cost of supplies.  Thank you!  They are going to all look so cute!

Have a great weekend!
