HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Remembrance Day Assembly
On Thursday November 7 at 10:30am, the Grade 4 Classes will be hosting our Remembrance Day Assembly.
Parents are welcome to attend. Please bring a donation for a poppy.
Casino Fundraiser - VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Our Casino Fundraiser Event will be taking place on November 26 and 27 at Deerfoot Inn and Casino.
This is our biggest fundraiser by far, usually raising $40,000-$80,000 for the school to use over the next three years. Proceeds fund residencies, subsidize field trip bussing, buy supplies that benefit the whole school such as library books, and much more.
How it works – We provide volunteers to work at Deerfoot Inn and Casino for two days and the casino donates some of the profits to the school. An advisor trains all the volunteers’ onsite so no prior experience or special skills are necessary. Unlike other school volunteering opportunities, police clearance is NOT required. Some positions must be filled by parents/guardians of children in the school but other positions (cashier, chip runner, and count room staff) can be filled by any adult, including friends or neighbours. Meals are included for volunteers during their shifts.
PLEASE SIGN UP FOR A SHIFT BELOW.
