Div 13's Turkeys!

Happy Thanksgiving, hope you all enjoy a wonderful extra long weekend with family and friends.  Please try to complete the Gratitude Scavenger Hunt that is in your child's poetry book, recognizing things that they are grateful for!  You could also act out the The Great Turkey Escape.

Thanks to everyone who sent in food for our food drive. Div. 13 & 5 did a great job making the announcement to the school each morning and it resulted in lots of non-perishable food for the Maple Ridge Friends in Need Food Bank. 

Please sign up and pay asap for the field trip on Tuesday, October. 21.  You can either pay either online or send in cash in a labelled ziplock bag asap.  Parent drivers are needed, we are short drivers!  If you plan to drive your own child please indicate on the portal or send me an email.  Also please ensure that you have your driver's volunteer form completed, submit a drivers abstract from ICBC, plus I need to a copy of your insurance and to check your driver's license.  You can send in a copy or a picture of the documents.  

A reading strategy sheet was sent home in the secret pouch this week.  These can be kept at home and used during reading times as ways your child can take action to decode unfamiliar words.
