Buddy Afternoon & rest of the week

We had a great afternoon with our Gr 5/6 buddies -first eating lunch together in our classroom with additional treats like cupcakes, freezies, popcorn, donuts, chips and juice! Then we went outside for a scavenger hunt, designed by our buddies, and even played a soccer game (boys vs girls!). Our buddies surprised us with a graduation ceremony (hats and diplomas included!) on the playground and even a goodie bag to end our time together. We sang 'Full of Beans' by Will Stroet that included all of our buddy names within the song. THANK YOU BUDDIES - WE APPRECIATE ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK!

Reminder that the Talent Show rehearsal is tomorrow - please bring all of your props/costumes that you need.

Friday is the Parent Appreciation Tea - please come if you are available as it is our time to thank you for all of your time and support throughout this past year. Stay for the exciting Talent Show (11am start) - a yearly tradition at CCS!

**Check your child's folder for a small piece of paper indicating what colour team and number your child is in for Fun Day** Fun Day theme is 'Treasure Island' and students are asked to come dressed in costume (NO WEAPONS). Reminder that Fun Day dismissal is at 12 noon from our classroom.

Cloverdale Catholic School Shopping Card Challenge
What if you could shop, win an ice cream, and expand the school, all at the same time?
The CCS Parent Fundraising Group in partnership with the Knights of Columbus would like to announce the following contest where you can:

WIN AN ICE CREAM SUNDAE PARTY FOR YOUR CHILD’S CLASS!!!

How does the contest work?
Starting the weekend of May 3/4 through the weekend of June 7/8 each school family can fill out a form when they purchase shopping cards. The forms will be used to record spending in the Knights of Columbus Shopping Card Program by class. The top TWO classes with the highest dollar amount purchased through the Shopping Card program will earn an ice cream sundae party towards the end of June.

What do I need to do?
Stop by the Knights of Columbus Shopping Card table after mass each Sunday and purchase shopping cards for your family groceries, gas, birthday presents, and other expenses. Fill out the contest slip indicating which classes your children are in and submit the slip along with your cheque or cash for the shopping cards.

What payment is accepted?
Cash or cheque. Credit cards cost too much to process and eat up much of the profit of the program.

Why support this program?
This program has the potential to raise large amounts of money for Precious Blood Parish and our school expansion. This is one fundraiser where you are not being asked for “extra” funds or a “donation”. By simply spending what you already spend in your daily life you can help raise funds for the parish.

What if I have a large order?
If you would like to order a large quantity of shopping cards please contact Earl Coatta at ecoatta@telus.net or 604-576-6306 and make arrangements.

What if I don’t attend mass at Precious Blood?
Please contact Earl Coatta at ecoatta@telus.net or 604-576-6306 to make other arrangements.
A list of the stores available (including denominations) can be viewed on the PFG blog at http://ccsunited-pfg.blogspot.ca/.
