GENERAL SCHOOL NEWS

Candy Grams are on sale this week during lunch - $0.75 each or 3 for $2.

The PAC meeting that was scheduled for tonight has been cancelled. We hope to see lots of parents at our first meeting of 2024 on January 16th in the Learning Commons (in person).

Kindness Drive:  Block 2 classes are encouraged to fill a donation box with food items and home basics to help support our local families. With these donated goods, Leadership students will be putting together hampers for our local families and any extras will be donated to the Mustard Seed.  If we all give a little it will help greatly.  Ideas for items include:

  • Cereal, Canned Tomatoes, School Snacks, Juice, Canned Fruit, Pasta Sauce, Cake / Muffin Mix, Helpers (Instant Potatoes / Hamburger Helper), Canned Meat, Pancake Mix
  • Diapers, formula, baby food, baby wipes
  • Shampoo / Conditioner / Body Wash / toothbrushes
  • Socks, mittens, gloves, toques (new/gently used)

All classes that collect a minimum of 10 items will be entered into a classroom draw for PRIORITY seating at the staff Holiday Show on the 22nd! If your family is in a position to support beyond what is mentioned above, please consider a cash donation or a food/Walmart gift card to support our local families.  Cash donations can be accepted in the office or can be set up through your child’s online school fees.  This would require you to contact Mrs. Youell at dyouell@saanichschools.ca.  Gift cards can be dropped off at the office.

Indigenous Student holiday luncheon is on Wednesday, Dec. 13th from 11:15-12:00 in the Learning Commons.  

We have a growing lost and found table by the main office. If you are missing something, please come by & have a look (even if you’ve already checked as new things are arriving daily) - we also have smaller items kept in the office if you’ve lost things such as jewellery, etc. All unclaimed items will be donated on December 22nd!
