Please make any cheques payable to c’usqunela Elementary. We expect to have the school spirit wear printed and back to students by the third week in November.
- Only a Few Days Left for the PAC Online Coffee Fundraiser
Any families wishing to order coffee simply need to go to the online coffee store by following
c̓əsqənelə’s link: https://globalcoffeefundraising.ca/cusqunela . Families can purchase coffee online and then choose to pay to have their coffee shipped directly to them (via Canada Post), or they can opt to have it shipped with the group order to the school, which is free to them. Online ordering is open from October 5th to the 18th and pick up is on Monday, October 26th.
- We are still planning to do some COVID friendly Halloween activities around the school towards the end of next week. Your child’s classroom teacher will be communicating any classroom specific plans in the coming days. Many classes are going to be participating in c̓əsqənelə’s own pumpkin patch! We have made plans to have a number of pumpkins brought to the school for participating classes on Tuesday October 27th. In the coming days… classroom teachers will be requesting $2 per child to cover the cost of a pumpkin if your child’s class is participating.
Sincerely,
Mr. Wheatley
