Hello Families of Division 12,
Here are some things to note for the last week of October.
Spirit Wear Orders
Spirit Wear Orders are due October 29 and payment must be made in cheque to the Suncrest PAC.
Prepared for the Weather
Please make sure your child comes to school dressed for the weather. We keep the windows open every day to help with air circulation, so our classroom will be colder than usual. Please have your child dress warmly everyday or bring extra layers to keep in their cubby.
Halloween week
October 27 – Pumpkin Patch & Hot chocolate
Students will go with their class to the grass field to pick a pumpkin to bring home. Please have your child bring a large bag to carry the pumpkin home. Students will also receive hot chocolate to drink in their classrooms.
At home please help your child to clean it out and carve it. In your child’s planner on Wednesday there will be an activity sheet for their pumpkin. Please help your child fill in the section of how many seeds were in the pumpkin as we are going to estimate after getting our pumpkins from the field. This is an optional activity, but it would be great practice for recording information and working on our estimation skills.
Thank you for your help with this activity!

October 29 – Costume Parade & Class Halloween Party
Students are welcome to wear a costume to school on October 29 and they will participate in a parade to show off their costumes to other students. Please ensure the costume is appropriate for school. More information about costume dress code is on the Suncrest homepage.
Our class is having a party in the afternoon (Oct. 29) to celebrate (short film, centres and themed games). We will not be having any shared treats during this time. A special individual treat for your own child is more than okay to bring for our celebration.
Thank you,
Ms. Toor
