Hi Families,

Tomorrow (Thursday) is our annual garbage pickup day. Being a responsible citizen and giving back to our community are important characteristics for individuals to have so we have a happy, healthy society. We participate in road/highway clean-up to help instill this in our students. Our K-Gr 1 class will be walking around the Dokkie subdivision collecting garbage, our Gr 2-12 students will be along the highway between town and our school.

Students will be briefed on highway safety and provided with a reflective vest and gloves to wear. We will be out for a few hours and hopefully be done around lunch time. If you are able to attend, we would love some volunteers to join us (our apologies for the late notice). After lunch we will have a treat and a house team activity.

Please ensure your child wears appropriate clothing and shoes for tomorrow:

– Good walking footwear or rubber boots

– Sweater/jacket & long pants (morning will be chilly)

– Water bottle

– Snacks and/or sack lunch

– Sun protection (hat or sunscreen)

Watch for us along the highway and honk as you pass. It will look much better by the end of tomorrow 😊

Mrs. Atherton
