A beautiful day today - as I read a message from my sister in Toronto talking about going outside to shovel snow, I was reminded how fortunate we are to live in this part of Canada!  I understand we have the potential for a bit of snow this week, though, so keep those warm clothes coming to school!

THANK YOU 

• to the many students who dazzled at the Talent Show!  Thank you also to the staff members, particularly Mrs. Choboter, who made the event happen.

INFORMATION

• Ms. Kessler is looking for volunteers who would be able to do hair/makeup for the upcoming Spring Musical. If you are willing to help out with this, please contact Ms. Kessler at mkessler@saintmarysschool.ca for more information.

• Did you want to buy a ticket for the Big Raffle but didn’t get a chance? A limited number of single tickets are available from the school office for sale. Tickets are $20 each and you have a chance to win $100, $500 or even $1,500! Please contact Mrs. Netzlaw to purchase your ticket, or get them online here.  We actually have a number of full books of tickets, as it turns out.  It would be so great to have them all sold before Father Wilfred returns from vacation!!!!

• Tickets are now on sale for our Bingo Night (February 18) . You can purchase your tickets at https://saintmarysschool.ca/bingo for $25/person. Please note: this is a 19+ event, no minors are allowed. 

REMINDERS

• As we seem to be swinging into the next waves of colds and flu, please keep in mind the protocols for returning to school after illness:

• Your child should be fever-free for 24 hours (fever-free without having to take medication)

• Your child should be "in control of all fluids" - no vomiting or diarrhea for 24 hours; able to control nasal discharge

• Your child should feel well enough to participate in all school activities, including taking part in PE classes and going outside for playtime

Thank you for helping keep us all healthy!
