A notice went out advertising the Santa Workshop in the library next week. The Santa Workshop is a PAC sponsored fundraiser that allows students to do a little Christmas present shopping. Items range in price from a $2-$20. Please see the handout for more information.

Our class’ scheduled time is Wednesday, Dec. 9 at 2:00 pm. If you send money in the envelope the students can have them locked in my filing cabinet to help keep the money safe until our time.

I forgot to have students write this in their planners. The RCMP have challenged our classes to a Cram The Cruiser with non-perishable food items for the food bank. The class that brings the most items by Friday will win a Subway lunch.

Devrianne Snowdon has organized a raffle for a load of firewood to raise money for the Grade 5 Camp Homewood trip. The tickets will only be sold for one day at the Christmas Bazaar at the Old School House Saturday! If you can help sell tickets that would be awesome. Just contact Devrianne or head on down to the bazaar – 11 am to 3 pm.

Student Photos arrived today and were handed out at the end of the day. I think re-takes will be occurring in January, I do not know the exact date yet. If you are not happy with the photos and want re-takes do not cut the photos and return them to school unused. If you return the original photos in their original condition, you can have free retakes. I will post the retake day as soon as I know when it is.
