HALLOWE’EN DOORS

Division 5 and Division 6 had the Winning Entries for the Halloween Door Competition. Well done. Student Council found it challenging to judge all the wonderful entries. Here are a few more wonderful doors.

Here is a news article from global news about having a safe Halloween.

Violent Video Games

Once again I want to mention that a few students are accessing inappropriate material through video games, the Internet etc. Please monitor your children’s exposure to such things. You might like to check out this link which talks about the effect of violent video games.

Global Citizenship Club

The Global Citizenship Club is still collecting canned food for the We Scare Hunger campaign until Tuesday, November 4.  Despite our publicity with this project, some classes are majorly lacking in donations.  A reminder that we need 10 classes to fill their boxes minimum for it to even get picked up by the Food Bank.  Although we don’t yet have enough canned food, we would still like to thank you for your continued support in our first campaign.

Sincerely, Ben M., Global Citizenship Club
