Hello Families of Division 11,

Our class will be attending the Suncrest Kids Market put together by the students in Division 1 & 3 on Friday December 15. At the market, students from Div 1 & 3 will be selling crafts and other items that they made. All proceeds will be donated to charity. If your child would like to purchase anything, please send some money to school with them on Friday in an envelope or ziplock bag with their name, division, and amount of money inside.

Thank you,

Ms. Diep

Good morning Families of Division 11,

Here are some things to note:

Popcorn Sale!

Tomorrow the school is having a Popcorn Sale to raise money for our Winter Concert and Choir.

If you child is wanting to buy please bring $3 in an envelope or bag with their name on it and what flavour they are wanting to buy. As of right now I am not sure when the sale will occur and it would be easier if I kept the money until the sale happens to avoid any misplaced coins.

Book Fair

Next week Suncrest will be hosting the Scholastic Book Fair on Monday December 4, Tuesday December 5 and Friday December 8.It will be open after school on those days from 3-4pm and open to our class during our Library time on Tuesday.

Sent home yesterday was a notice that shared some of the books available to purchase. As Our students in Division 11 are younger and may require adult assistance to make meaningful purchases at the book fair, we recommend students to look around with their families on Monday after school before making purchases during our Library visit on Tuesday.

Please have a conversation together prior to our Library visit to the book fair Tuesday and select some books your child might want to purchase. When sending your child to school with money please write their name on a bag/ envelope, write down the dollar amount and the book titles or photos they are wanting to purchase as Ms. Ho and I can help support them.

Thank you for all your support! Last year this worked really well for my Grade 1s and helped the 30 minute visit to the book fair run very smoothly.

Hello families!

Tomorrow is our next spirit day!

Glamorous (Glam day is a day where students get to wear their most fabulous outfit! Could be one that is the most dazzling, sparkling or an outfit you enjoy wearing! 

This could include ties, tiaras, sparkly/ bejewelled items or something flashy.

Wear your most “Glam outfit” and earn a  point for your house team! All points added up throughout the year will contribute to the total number on Sports Day in June!

Thank you and looking forward to seeing everyone’s outfits!

We will be leaving the school at 9:30am and will make our walk back around 2:00pm. Drop off and pick up times are at 8:50am and 3:00pm as usual.

Please ensure your child is already wearing:

  • their swim suit
  • a sun hat
  • suncreen
  • running shoes **for the walk**

Your child will need to bring (in their backpack or spare bag they can carry on their own):

  • water bottle
  • sunscreen (to apply again after lunch)
  • a towel
  • a change of clothes (if needed)
  • sandals or water shoes
  • snack and lunch

P.S. Wednesday June 29 will be a 10am dismissal. No need to bring planners to school after today.

Please note that next school year all primary classes will be going back to communal supplies. Families will need to pay a set fee and teachers will order the necessary school supplies for all students. More information about this will be sent home in September. 

Thank you,

Ms.Diep

If students want to decorate a bike or a scooter and enter the parade they may do so. STUDENTS MUST HAVE A HELMET TO WEAR, or they will be asked to walk their bike in the parade. We ask that Bikes be brought to school in the morning at 8:45 am and be placed in the designated colour area against the fence along the backstop area of the field closest to the school. Students must then report to their classroom as usual. There will be an adult watching the bikes to ensure they are safe. After the Parade students will be asked to lock up their bikes along the fence in front of the primary classroom doors or parents could arrange to take them home or to their car/van at that time. Students who do not have a lock to lock up their bikes may leave them in the school Gymnasium until the end of Sports Day. Please Pick up your bike or scooter at the end of the day.
