Weekly memo April 15-19, 2024

The Primary playground needs just under $12,000 worth of repairs, as 4 of the platforms need to be replaced.  A huge thank you to the Ridge Ridge Lions club for their generous $3500 donation to help us out.

Our nature park is now open at recess and lunch for our students.  Although we have had some dry weather over the last few days, it is still muddy down there.  Students who wish to play down there must have proper footwear and are asked to bring a change of clothing.

Terry Fox
All Terry Fox t-shirt orders are due on Friday.
We are only $400 away from raising $2000, and the top ten fundraisers will get to spray silly string on teacher volunteers in the May assembly!

The class that raises the most money will get ice cream!

How to donate/fundraise:
The easiest way to fundraise is to have people donate to the fundraising page online at

https://schools.terryfox.ca/AlbionElementary

Students can create a custom page for themselves, so that we know how much money you fundraised.
