Last Week!
Well...we are down to the last week before Christmas!!!
Secret Santa has begun! And just a reminder that the kids should have a small treat or clue for the person they have picked - every day this week. Something small - a treat, a clue, a homemade ornament..... a little surprise for the student they are a Secret Santa to.
On Friday - the Santas are revealed!! A larger - yet inexpensive - gift is to be brought in for our celebration on Friday.
This week, we are also having two caroling assemblies - one on Wednesday during the last period, and Friday during the first two periods of the day. Any parents are welcome to attend!
This Thursday , we will be baking cookies! During the last two periods, we will be busy making as many batches as we can. Please send in baking sheets, bowls, cookie cutters....and perhaps a loonie to help buy ingredients. An if you would like to help - parents are more than welcome to come in!!!
School reminders : book reports, and menus will be due when the kids get back from the break - and the second installment of the trip is due the Tuesday after the break.
MacMillan's food orders are arriving on Thursday - please make sure that everything is picked up by 6:00pm on Thursday evening.
I hope everyone has a great week!

T'was the Second Last Week of School!
Hello Everyone!
Well, December is ZOOMING by and yet, there are so many things to be done in the next two weeks!
First, I would like to say congratulations to the volleyball team for representing our school at their tournament in Elora last Thursday - well done!!!! I look forward to a staff/student volleyball game soon!
The grade 8 trip registrations and fundraising is all going well. Most kids registered online by the December 9th deadline...we will have the updated list from the tour company , tomorrow, and this will confirm who has or has not registered. If you had any trouble , either call EF Tours at their 1-800 number...or let me know at the school and I will check into it. The final round of fundraising is due at the school on Wednesday , and a reminder that all the ordered items will be delivered to the school next week!! Trip information packages went home last Friday - with blue permission forms, roommate choice sheets, helmet waivers, dietary concern/medicine forms.....please return all forms to school as soon as possible. By next week , each student will have an updated "fundraising account" form coming home, to let you know what is owed for the second installment due on January 9th. If you have any questions or concerns - please don't hesitate to let me know.
Other dates to remember :
Tomorrow : math test for Number Sense and Numeration begins - will finish on Wednesday
Tomorrow night : Open House / Grade 8 Fashion Show!!! 6- 730 pm.
Wednesday : History test completion in Mr. Primeau's room at first break
Science classes : bring in materials to create their plant or animal cell models/posters - due at the end of next week
Next Week's Activities :
Cookies!!!!! Sometime next week, I would like to carry on the tradition of baking and decorating cookies with the kids! I would LOVE to have parent volunteers to come in and help us - the more , the merrier- and would ask that if possible you send any bowls, mixing spoons... cookie cutters.......into the school so we have what we need to create these fabulous treats! Also , a toonie or loonie would be helpful - as I will take care of purchasing all of the cookie ingredients :)
Secret Santa !!!!! Any students wanting to take part in our Secret Santa festivities, will be drawing a name from the hat to pick their "Santa" . Over the course of the last five days of school before break, the kids SECRETLY leave treats, little prizes, stickers, cards, clues and trinkets for their friend. On the last day of school, a final gift (no more than $10!!!) is brought in to give to their Santa at the revealing of all Secret Santas. We will have a class celebration the last day of school before the holidays - all parents are welcome!
I hope everyone have a wonderful week, and I will see some of you tomorrow night!
