Mr. Ogren's Music Class

There will be a Camp Homewood information meeting for parents and chaperones Tuesday, April 17 @ 6:00pm in the Sunset Gym. We will be discussing waivers, activities, fundraising and chaperones.

Students are encouraged to wear a hockey jersey to school tomorrow to show support for the players and coaching staff that lost their lives in the tragic bus accident. If students do not have a jersey they can also wear green or even a green ribbon.

Two Important Camp Homewood Updates!

1. Spring Basket Raffle: We are looking for donations for a Spring basket raffle to be held next week.  The proceeds will be split up amongst the children that either donate or help sell raffle tickets. Donation ideas: Crayons/colouring books, Candy/chocolates,Bubbles/sand toys, Glow sticks   Please have all items by Monday, April 16, so the basket can be put together.

2. PARENT/CHAPERONE MEETING – TUESDAY, APRIL 17 @ 6:00 PM – LIBRARY! There will be a meeting to discuss permission forms, activities, chaperones, remaining fundraiser and costs. If you are interested in being a chaperone for Camp Homewood, you need to have a criminal record check done at the RCMP detachment. There is also a cost of approx. $200 for each adult (charged by Camp Homewood to cover food.)

The School Board is surveying parents and staff about moving to a 2-week Spring Break. The survey was sent home with all students today. Please read through the info provided and respond at the end.  I think the deadline to respond is April 14th (I don’t have a copy of the survey at home.) They need the input from parents and staff before the next Board meeting.

This afternoon is the setup for the Science Fair. The actual Science Fair is actually tomorrow. Please contact the office if you have any questions about the Science Fair.

It was not mandatory for students in the class to enter the Science Fair, but they have been working on their animal research projects and they could be entered as a study.

Students have a 5 day weekend die to Easter holidays (Monday and Friday) and an Inservice Day on Tuesday.

All staff will be at Port Hardy Secondary learning about coding, a new addition of the curriculum, and adding First Nations content to subjects.

Have a safe Easter Break!

It’s that time of year again! FUN FAIR! It’s on Friday, April 20. Our class is decorating and manning the Plinko Booth. We need six parent volunteers to work the booth. There are three 1 hour shifts – 5-6 pm, 6-7 pm & 7-8pm. Please complete the form that was sent home if you can work a shift or just email me at kogren@sd85.bc.ca.

The money raised at the Fun Fair helps the PAC pay for the swimming program that all students take part in the Spring. Our class will actually get 2 sessions a week.

Students started an animal research project the week before Spring Break. It is not mandatory to enter the study into the Science Fair next week, but students are encouraged to, if they choose. Students will present their information in the form of a poster, Science Fair backboard or Power Point to the class.

Science Fair is next week on Thursday, April 5th. The date did sneak up on us a little. I thought that we had an extra week and didn’t account for the 3 days off due to Easter and the Inservice Day. The actual project is due Monday, April 9th, if the student does not want to enter the Science Fair. We will be presenting the projects the week of April 9th-13th.

The Sunset Students’ Council is hosting two spirit days to celebrate Spring Break. The first is Tacky Tourist Day on Wednesday.  Students can dress up – sunglasses, shorts, Hawaiian shirts, sandals, sun hats, etc.

Friday will be GREEN DAY  to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. Students can dress in as much green as possible.
