Mr. Ogren's Music Class

Where did spring break go? It’s too bad Mother Nature didn’t realize it was spring. I hope everyone had a chance to have some fun and relax. School re-opens Monday morning, see you tomorrow. 

I hope that everyone in the Sunset family has a great Spring Break and safe travels if you are venturing beyond the north island. See you in a week. 

The Student Council is hosting a “Guess the Coins in the  Pot of Gold!” For only $0.25 per guess, you can guess the number of gold chocolate coins there are in the pot of gold. Guesses will be on sale in front of the office until Thursday. The winner will be announced Friday for St. Patrick’s Day.

The grade 7’s are hosting a Bake Sale  tomorrow and Friday (if there are leftovers). Everything is $1, with a limit of 2 items each.

Students will be presenting what they learned during their research and interviews for the Heritage Project for Social Studies this week. As a celebration for all the hard work, students will be having a Heritage Potluck Lunch on Friday, March 10th @ noon. As part of the Heritage Project, students were to locate a traditional family recipe that they can make for the lunch. Please remember that Sunset School is peanut-free. We also have a few students with other food allergies, so can students please bring the recipe. If you are purchasing the food/snack, please make sure to include the list of ingredients. I do realize that this does happen on the same day as the Subway Lunch, but only 3 students ordered, so we decided to stick with the original date.

List Words: tried, weigh, piece, receive, their, fierce, neither, field, receiving, trying, hurried, siege, weighs, writing, tired, having, planned, worries

Challenge Words: precipitation, cuisine, ingredients, influenza

Assignments Due & Test Friday!

We will start the presentations of the students’ Heritage Projects this Friday. I gave the students a little extra time to work on them today, so there’s no Math homework.

Next Friday, March 10 is slated for the Heritage Potluck Lunch! A notice will be coming home with more information later in the week.

The second round of Coffee Orders for Camp Homewood is coming home today! This is a reminder that students make $6 per bag of coffee. All orders are due on March 29th.

The estimated cost of Camp Homewood is $350 per student. There will also be a walk-a-thon after the coffee orders are complete.

If you have any questions about the coffee order please email me (kogren@sd85.bc.ca)  or call the school.
