Mr. Ogren's Music Class

Due to the Power Outage yesterday, students will be bringing home their Home Reading Booklets today.

Constable Mike, of the Port McNeill RCMP, started the D.A.R.E. Program today with all the grade 5 students at Sunset school. D.A.R.E. is a 10 week program that focuses on decision making, especially around the use of drugs, smoking and alcohol.

D.A.R.E. stands for Drug Awareness and Reduction Education. The students should have an one hour lesson each week. There should be a letter coming home today, please sign and return with your child.

There’s only 2 days to complete the Spelling Unit this week (Friday is Remembrance Day), so I gave the students some extra time to work on their assignments.

List words: idea, silent, myself, lying, apply, knight, quite, I’m, license, buy, inquire, higher, variety, smiling, diagram, rhyme, widest, python

Yes, that’s right! Individual school photos are the day after Halloween. Students will have to make sure that all the make-up and hair dye has been washed off!

An order form for photos was sent out last week. Students need to return the order form Tuesday morning. You can pay online and write down a confirmation number on the form for ease of ordering.

If you have any questions, please call the office.

Students will be welcome to wear costumes at school after lunch on Monday. There will be a costume parade in the gym at some point in the afternoon. Student Council will be handing out some prizes for best costumes. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone dressed up.

We mailed our letters to people that inspire us today! Hopefully we’ll get a few autographs or letters back! We then stopped at Subway for lunch.

The first Student Council sponsored dance is tomorrow, Friday Oct. 28, from 3:30-5:00 pm for intermediate students.  

The cost is $2 and students can wear costumes to the dance, there will be prizes!

Unit 5 Spelling assignments are due tomorrow. The weekly spelling test is also tomorrow. 

You can click the link above for the list of words if you need them to practise. 

We are walking to the post office after recess tomorrow, Friday, Oct. 28. We’re mailing our letters to the people that inspire us. 

We will be stopping at Subway for lunch on the way back. Students need to bring money for Subway or just bring a bag lunch if they don’t have like Subway. 

If the weather is horrible Friday, send a lunch, as there may be a possibility of postponing due to weather. We’ll still go if it’s just a light rain – dress for rain and/or bring an umbrella.
