Hey All!
I hope you are having a wonderful 3 day weekend, I always love the extra day! We’ve got a busy and exciting week ahead with BINGO Night and Jammie Jam!
A few notes to get you rolling:
1) BINGO Night this Wednesday starting at 5:30. We’ll have some set up to do so it’d be great if everyone was at school no later than 5:15pm. Dinner (bring your own or get pizza at the event) is from 5:30-6pm, BINGO from 6-7pm.
2) Jammie Jam on Thursday (kids are encouraged to wear PJs, and you can, too)-this is a big fundraising event! Volunteers will do almost all the work, but may need you to help out a little bit during the event. Angela Spaid is coordinating everything and I’ll check in with her prior to the event to get the last minute details. Here’s the plan:
12:00-1:00 course design & set up by volunteers (outdoors if weather permits)
*We’ll skip afternoon Choice Time this day, as well as Gr 3 PE (Grade 4 and 5 may have to skip as well if we need to set up indoors. Game time decisions!)
1:00-1:25 (K-2nd grade run the course)
1:30-2:00 (3rd-5th grade run the course)
*You are welcome to bring your classes out to cheer others on if you like
Jammie Jam pledge sheets are due back by Wednesday this week, but we will of course take them any time! Volunteers will do all the monetary tallying and get pledge sheets and envelopes back to you to send home with students.
3) Staff Meeting Tuesday, 2:30pm in Brian’s room. I’ll send an agenda soon. One thing we’ll definitely talk about are “Theme Months” (Black History, Women’s History, Indigenous People’s Monty) and it would be great if you could do a little thinking about your position on such months.
4) SIW this week is a Teacher Work Day–enjoy! I will leave for a meeting around 2:30 that day.
5) Dental Screenings on Thursday AM. Parents have been asked to provide consent on a digital form–something new we are trying this year, we’ll see how it goes.
6) Reminder that Bias Lessons need to be completed by November 15. Please email when you are done. Thanks to those of you who have sent me an email!
7) Bread and Jam this Friday!
8) Please remember to upload your SLGGs into UKG as soon as possible. I sent you all a link to the SLGG folder last week.
9) Christine Bachtel is our visiting artist this month–she’s doing some ceramics with the classes. She started with a few classes last week. It’s good to have her around!
Lastly, I’ll be arriving a little late to school on Friday, likely around 8:30am. I’ll be available by text or phone if needed.
Here’s to a great, 4 day week ahead!
