STUDENT CONFERENCES– Teachers have been putting out sign up requests either by paper or through online methods for the past couple of weeks. Please know that this is one of three formal reporting sessions mandated through BC school law. As such, it is a requirement that all students complete one of these conferences. Please remember these are “three-way” conferences and students must be in attendance as well. Conferences are focused on celebration of successes, identification of challenges, and the creation of goals to build growth in certain areas.
LOST AND FOUND– Our lost and found is again overflowing with beautiful things. Please take a look (or make sure your child takes a look) for your lost items, as everything will be donated to charity before our Winter break.

GRADE 7 ENTREPRENEUR FAIR AND SALE FOR KINDERGARTEN TO GRADE 6– Wednesday December 5th 8:45-11:45 in the gym (closed at recess). As part of Career Education, all grade 7 students (and grade 6s in combined 6/7 classes) in term one are becoming entrepreneurs. They have learned about money management, financial literacy and entrepreneurship, with the culminating activity being a showcase of the businesses they’ve created where students sell their products to students and adults in the school. Ten percent of all profits will be donated to charity.
Students in the school from kindergarten to grade 6 will come to the gym on this day with their teacher (and possibly buddy class) to look at and purchase the products these students have made. Products include jewelry, games, bath products, Christmas decorations, and art with prices ranging from $1-$5. Parents are also welcome to attend. The creativity and hard work demonstrated by our grade seven students is very impressive. (Many of the products will be displayed in the case as you enter the school.)
Mark your calendars and remember to send your child to school on Wednesday December 5th with some money to spend.
