Good morning, busses are cancelled today so we will not have classes today. Work will be sent home for students. There will be staff at school for students who need supervision today.

Stay warm out there!

Families, due to road conditions, there are no busses today and therefore no in person classes. Continued learning is important and there will be staff at school to help supervise and encourage students to do their work. If you need your children at school and are able to get them there, please let your homeroom teacher know (or text the school if needed).

Elementary teachers will be sending out messages on what to do via Bloomz.
Gr 7-12 will have information in the same document as before, which now also includes the teacher’s email addresses. The links to these documents will be re-sent to parents and students this morning.

Thank you for your patience as we navigate the winter conditions together.

Mrs. Atherton

Hello Families,
This Flash is a little more condensed than normal as it’s not Friday! As we wonder what the weather brings us this week, we do look forward to seeing many of you at our Christmas concert this week and possibly for pickup on Friday as well. Still a few days of learning and fun to squeeze in before a break.
Hope your week starts off well!
Mrs. Atherton

This Coming Week

• Wed Dec 17 6 pm – Christmas program & bake sale. Participating students (all preschool to Gr 6 & some Gr 7-12 students) need to arrive by 5:45 or by the time given by their teacher.
• Wed Dec 17 – Hot lunch orders for Jan/Feb due
• Fri Dec 19 – Noon dismissal – We encourage parents to pick up their children as there is typically lots to carry, however, there will be one bus leaving just after noon and going back to the regular bus stop for those that need a ride to town. SD59 buses will go home at their regular afternoon time (not in sync with our bus).

Upcoming Events

• Mon Jan 5 – First day of classes after Christmas break

Verse of the Week – Luke 2:11
"The Savior—yes, the Messiah, the Lord—has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David!"
Good news brings great joy—especially in this season of giving.

Last year we had such a great response to our Christmas Concert Bake Sale, we would like to do it again at this year’s concert on December 17 @ 6pm.

In order to make this event a success, we are once again reaching out to all parents and caregivers who are able to contribute to this wonderful cause.

If you enjoy baking, we kindly ask if you could consider donating a dozen or two of your favorite holiday treats. Baked goods/treats can be dropped off at PCS on the 16th or 17th in a festive Christmas or holiday themed container. (If you cannot find a container or packaging at our local dollar store, the PC will have some extras and can organize them into tins for sale on the evening of the Christmas concert.)

Your support and generosity will be greatly appreciated, and it will certainly contribute to the success of this event!

Thank you to all and to all a good week 🎁
