Business Post

Sending Mr. Zippy back and forth daily is key. Today, I sent home a number of items:

  1. Our October newsletter. Particularly important is the calendar, with the listings of who our star student is each day. Star students are our special helpers on that day: they lead the line to hold open the door, they use the pointer to help us sing our calendar songs and they get to share a show and tell on their day. In October, our stars are asked to bring in items that begin with the first letter of their name. Here's a link to the letter, if you missed it today: October Newsletter
  2. A family calendar with lots of great ideas about ways to share learning with your family. (PM kids will get theirs tomorrow!)
  3. A library book, to be returned next Monday. If your child wishes to bring their book back and forth to read at school they may, but we do book exchange every Day 5.
Today was also the due date for our September Scholastic. If you have late orders, you may still send them in, but note that they may not arrive in as timely a fashion. Thanks to Tara (Addy's mom) for co-ordinating this in September.

Thank you as well to those of you who sent in donations to Terry Fox last week. We "read" the pictures of a biography and talked about his legacy on Friday after our walk. I've passed on all monies to Ms. Fenton, but please make sure you label any funds clearly. I asked a student last week about some money that was loose in her Mr. Zippy and she told me it was to get me coffee and a doughnut. (Luckily, I did check in with mom.)

Have a great week, 

Ms. Goegan
