Good to Know

  • Our flag football teams had fun and arrived back safely with no major injuries so we are grateful!
  • We have two funds from the BC government to support families: Feeding Futures and Family Affordability Fund. Our school has been assigned a specific amount to use for our students/families. These funds are intended to support families in accessing food and programs that would be difficult to access otherwise. You will see the option to opt into these funds for various food orders and school programs, hopefully throughout the school year as funds last.

Shout Outs

  • To Mrs. Bunker for driving the bus to and from the junior flag football tournament safely.
  • To Mr. Atherton, Miss V and Mrs. Neumann for supporting our students’ trip/participation in the football tournament.
  • To Mr. Balane for making a drywall repair in our upper grade boys bathroom.

Resources

Verse of the Week – Deuteronomy 31:6

"Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you."

*PS

We know the day after Halloween is extra hard when you’re trying to get your kids up and ready for school. Because dressing a hung-over, raging pterodactyl is not fun. But PLEASE do NOT bribe the groggy goblins with trick or treat candy and send them to school with two fistfuls of Sour Patch Kids and a wish. We the teachers would rather you perform a rolling dropoff in front of the school, spitting a cranky kid in pajamas out of the Odyssey than pushing a feral hyperglycemic werewolf into the doors of the school fresh off a continuous three day sugar bender. Put down the sucker.

Your duty on November 1st is to send them to school with bed head and a buttered biscuit in whatever mood has taken over. We will detox them off the red dye and artificial flavours and send them back to you at 2:30. We ride at dawn.
