LUNCH VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
Just a friendly reminder to sign up as a lunch volunteer in the coming months. It’s a great opportunity to talk with other parents and to see your kids out playing at lunch! If everyone who participated in the lunch program volunteered once we would have enough volunteers for the year! We are currently short some days every week and it is disheartening to the core volunteers who take time out of their busy schedules every week to keep this fundraising going. The funds are essential to the programs, activities and materials that all students and teachers at Norma Rose … Continue reading LUNCH VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
School back Monday / Cedar Pyjama Day
Happy New Year to all of you. Hard to believe it is almost time for the kids to get back to school. Just a reminder that, due to the unexpected and abrupt beginning of the holidays, the Cedar Community (Grade 3`s) will be having their Pyjama Day on Monday!! Dress your child in pyjamas, send their favorite book and blanket and pillow (if they wish). For those other communities that were to have pyjama day or camp out I will connect with the teachers and see if they will be re scheduled. Stay tuned! Jody Continue reading School back Monday / Cedar Pyjama Day
