Terry Fox Run
Just a reminder, today is the MTS Terry Fox Run.
Please bring in a toonie for Terry!
A big thank you to all the volunteers!!!
Fun Lunch
Our first Fun Lunch will start today.
Fun Lunch is only for grades 1-4 and our EES students.
- Go to healthyhunger.ca
- Log into you existing account or create a new one.
- Add your child’s information in the “add child” box – name, province, city, school, grade and class.
- All Fun Lunches will then populate – select the order now button!
Please make sure to send a morning snack with your child on Fun Lunch Days.
**** Please note: December's Fun Lunch has been moved to December 11.
Conferences
Parent-Teacher Conferences will take place in person at the school on Thursday from 4-8pm and Friday from 8:00am to 12:00pm
Please book conference times through your MyCBE account. Bookings close on Thursday at 2pm. If parents require support with booking, they can call the office or contact their student's teacher.
Kindergarten conferences will be held at the times above as well as Thursday from 8am-12pm.
There are no kindergarten classes on either Thursday or Friday. There is no school for students in grades 1-4 on Friday due to conferences.
These conferences are an opportunity to meet your child’s teacher and to provide teachers with information about your child that is important. Teachers will inform you on how your child is adapting to and settling into the new school year but, due to the minimal amount of time spent in school thus far, will not provide information on student learning or achievement.
Casino Fundraiser
Our Casino Fundraiser Event will be take 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.
