Happy Holidays!

Fairview did a wonderful job of collecting toys for the Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows Christmas Hamper.  Div. 3 & 11 organized with posters and announcements.  Mrs. Labelle and I had 7 leadership students come shopping with us one day after school to purchase toys with the cash that was sent in. The students did an excellent job of choosing and shopping within our budget.  Then before the hamper society collected we organized and took this picture with our big buddies.   Fairview proved 'Little People Can Make a Big Difference!'  I sure they made many children/teens very happy this holiday season.

Hope you are enjoying this white Christmas - definitely a winter wonderland!  Thanks to you and your children for the cards, gifts, hugs, handshakes or high fives!  I really appreciate your kindness and generosity.  

Enjoy this holiday season, hopefully you can enjoy this special time with family and friends. 

See you all in the new year!

December 9/22

The Christmas Concert was a big success as I'm sure you'd all agree.  It is great to once again celebrate these special events in public,  we are so fortunate to have Dr. Saul and such an amazing music program at Fairview!  

Thanks to everyone who donated toys or money for our Christmas toy drive.  Div. 11 and Div. 3 did a great job of promoting this special fundraiser.  This afternoon our math lesson was sorting and counting all the money donations.  The students sorted, counted and even learned how to fill out a deposit sheet including cheques.  We made $760.00 in cash donations.  Wow, Fairview did prove that Little People Can Make a Big Difference!

We have been busy with our special Christmas crafts.  They seem pretty excited about each of the stations.

**Driver's Abstracts, Div. 11 I looked into this and only has 5 people have filled out driver's abstract forms and we definitely will need more for future field trips.  If you need forms please let me know.     When you do complete them you will need to show the office (Mrs. Bruce) your driver's license and confirmation of your insurance.  it is the part on the form that says Office Use Only.  Thanks for your support with this.   I have a field trip planned to Garibaldi High School for Jan. 25th.
