On Friday, we celebrated the Feast of St. Nicholas and we talked about the connection between Santa Claus and St. Nicholas. We also put one shoe in our hallway after recess-an annual CCS tradition-to did not see Saint Nicholas when he put a special treat in our shoes. Saint Nicholas is the patron saint of children so was a wonderful day to celebrate him and the joy of children.
Library
Last week was the last week for students to take out books before the Christmas holidays. All library books are due tomorrow.
Christmas Concert
There will be two shows, 1:00 pm and 7:00 pm, on Tuesday, December 17th. Our students will be on the risers on the right side of the stage so I would find seating on the far right side when you walk into the gym. Our class will be angels so please wear white or light-coloured clothing on that day. Admission to the concert is by food bank donation.
Letter of the Week: Mm
Please help your child collect any words or pictures that start with Mm-keep them in a ziplock and put in their blue folder.
Show and Tell
Reminder that Tuesday, Dec 10th is our next show and tell day. December them is a family fun (special family trips, activities, games, traditions, etc). Your child may bring in a picture or a brochure from a special trip or a favourite game.
Vision and Hearing Check
Fraser Health came in on Thursday to do their annual vision and hearing check of our Kindergarten students. Unfortunately, the vision machine stopped working so the nurses will return on Tuesday to finish the rest of the vision checks. If there are any concerns about your child's vision and/or hearing, they will contact you directly.
Candygrams
Each year, our Christian Servers will sell candycanes for $0.50 and then the students can send them to anyone they want to in the school. Students often buy candygrams for classmates, buddies or sibling and they are sold every day at lunch until Dec 18th. Candygrams are delivered to students on the last day of school. If you would like your child to buy candygrams, write the names of the students who they would like to a candygram to and attach it with their money and I will help them fill our their candygram note. All money raised helps to go support our school's sponsor child in South America.
Parent Fundraising Group (PFG) Meeting
There is a meeting tomorrow at 7:00 pm in the Cenacle room at the Parish Centre.
