THANK YOU

• to all who contributed time, talent or treasure to Games Day. It was an amazing experience for the kids, and we especially thank the Grade 7 team for all of their hard effort. We happened to have a family visit the school that day, and the kids wanted to start right then!

• for your continued contributions to the food drive.

INFORMATION:

• November is the month of All Souls. Family pages for our "Book of Souls" went home in the brown envelope. If you return it, it will be added to the book and we will pray for your deceased loved ones during the month of November.

• The monthly newsletter was emailed on Friday afternoon, and will also be available on our website.

• Playdates: we have had many children ask to use the phone lately to arrange playdates. Please make sure that such arrangements are made prior to coming to school. It is especially important not to assume your child can go home on the bus if they don't normally take it home (or to go on "the other" bus if they normally take the bus home).

REMINDERS:

• Scholastic Book Fair is on all week. Proceeds support our school library. Great chance to do some Christmas shopping!

• There is a new section on our school website for extra-curricular activities and athletics with a calendar of events, as well as a section for permission forms.

• FOOD DRIVE NEED OF THE WEEK: pasta and pasta sauce

• Photo Retake Day will be November 1st

• brown envelopes went home on Friday - please return right away so they can be used next month
