Feb. 14 - gymnastics
Dear FamiliesI am excited to be taking the children up to the Kamloops Gymnastics Club.  (Please see the permission form).  We are going with our grade 4 buddy group.  We will go by bus.

Please return the forms, signed, with your child’s name filled in at the bottom.  It helps the office staff if you include your permission form and payment in one envelope or small ziplock bag.

Also – we are trying to solve a mystery.  We are missing a library book called ‘Panda’.  Could you please have a look around your homes and cars to see if your child took it home by accident.

I have posted this notice on the blog as well.

Thanks.  Cheers.  Sheila Stokes


 Hello Everyone – Happy
Valentine’s Day!  The kids are
really excited about our Tuesday celebration.  Thank you very much to those of you who
sent in cereal boxes. Now each
child will have their own unique holder. 
Here are a couple of important upcoming
 events:

 Tuesday – Valentine’s
exchange and afternoon party. 
Healthy snack and drink donations would be
  great.


Thursday – Young
People’s Concert at the Sagebrush. 
This time we will be watching
ballet.

Monday, Feb. 20th 
  We are celebrating
the 100thday of
school.  We will try to read 100
  books, hook together 100 unifix cubes and so forth. 
This is a great time for the children to bring in a project they have
made with you at home.  Some ideas
might be 100 pennies, 100 pieces of cereal glued in rows of 10, 100 toothpicks
arranged and glued in groups of 5, 100 pieces of lego arranged in a
construction, etc.  The sky is the
limit and you can let your imagination run with this. 
We will share our projects with the class so it
would be great if each child could have something to  share.
