November 25/22

 Wow it's hard to believe a month today will be Christmas!

Conferences are coming next week...Thursday Dec. 1st and Friday, Dec. 2nd.  Thanks for signing up on the parent portal.  Please remember these conferences are a total of 30 minutes, you should arrive at the time you sign up for.  The first 15 minutes your child will show their work in the hall and the next 15 mins will be with me and your child sharing and celebrating their learning plus setting goals for next term.  Please let me know if these dates do not work for your family and we can make other arrangements. ***Thursday is an 11:30 dismissal and there is no school Friday except for conferences.

Club RED The Book Swap was a big success. Thanks to everyone who donated books, the students were excited to choose some new ones.  
Upcoming Important Dates:
Nov. 29th - Flashlight Reading (please bring a flashlight) 
Dec. 1 - Club RED celebration  - please wear RED and parents are invited to come and read with your child(ren) 11:00- 11:30 our early dismissal day. 
Hopefully your child is reading every day, colouring the square and you are initialling it.  Div. 11's goal is for everyone to be a CLUB RED member (remember you get 5 days if you are too busy/tired to read).
Calendars should be returned asap but for sure by Dec. 6th.  Please ensure that. your child's name is on it and the dates they read are initialled and coloured.  Thanks

Div. 11 and Div. 3 are organizing the Toy Drive for the Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows Christmas Hamper this year.  If you'd like to participate you're invited to donate a new toy (unwrapped) for a child close to the age of your child or $5.00/$10 CASH which will be used to buy appropriate items for the sponsored child.  Some suggested items are: crafts, balls, puzzles, alarm clocks, gloves and stuffies.  

Christmas Concert:  Dr. Saul and all the classes are busy preparing for our first in-person concert in a couple of years.  It will be on Dec. 8th at 8:50 and 12:50.  Tickets are/were on the parent portal.          Div. 11 will be with their big buddies, they are the puppets in the song 'Snow'.  If possible could they wear brightly coloured clothing, button up shirts and a bow tie, hats are optional.  A copy of their song went home on Friday, please have your child practice this you can access the music at:
