Dear grade 3B and C Families,
Dear Parent / Guardian
Mr. O’Reilly will be on a leave for the month of February 2020.
To ensure continuity Ms. Latham will be redeployed from her
role as PE Specialist to work with Ms. Ley in the grade three
classroom. Ms. Latham has experience both with the grade
three curriculum and well established relationships with all
of our students at SVS. PE will be taught by home room teachers
or a designated grade team member for the month of February 2020.
Mr. O’Reilly will be returning on March 2, 2020. If you have any
questions or concerns please contact administration through
the front office at 403-777-6660.
Respectfully:
Christopher Snow
Principal, SVS
PLEASE CHECK IRIS LEY'S BLOGS FOR FEBRUARY TO STAY
INFORMED ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING IN OUR CLASS (3B/3C)
AND CONTACT HER IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT
THE BLOG OR OUR CLASS.
The next Parent Council meeting is next week on
Thursday, February 6th at 7 pm in our DLC.
We are holding the meeting a week early to
accommodate the Teachers' Convention break.
It’s our Grade 2 teaching teams' turn to present
what your kids have been working on in their classrooms.
There will also be the usual updates from our
Admin team and other committees.
Babysitting will be available.
And in case you missed this on our school website,
you can review our January meeting minutes here: http://school.cbe.ab.ca/school/simonsvalley/get-involved/school-council/pages/default.aspx
We are excited to go skating! We are going to the rink
between the two schools. We do need parents to help
us get ready to skate. Thanks volunteers!
Skating dates this year are Mon Feb 10-Wed Feb 12.
Our two classes will get two skating blocks. One on
Monday February 10 at 11am at the rink to tie skates
etc... and Wednesday February 12 at 11:35. We need
parents who are available to volunteer either of those
days to help tie up skates and put on helmets. Volunteers
will not be expected to go on the ice (unless they want to!).
We will be creating Valentines hearts in class for every
child to decorate, have it signed by their peers, and take
home on February 12.
On Wednesday February 5th, we say so long to our
wonderful student teacher Mrs. Maya H. She has
been a kind and caring addition to our class and we
wish her success.
We will be partaking in Yoga once a month for a half
hour per class as a school wide wellness activity. If
you have any questions please contact the admin at
the school.
Student Fundraiser:
Hello grade 3 Families,
Your kid is probably asking for some money ($1.00 or $0.50).
We are raising money for the animals in Australia because there's
a big wildfire you might know about this, so we are trying to raise
money to stop this wildfire by doing a jelly bean contest. Kids can
take one guess for $0.50 or two guesses for $1.00 maximum.
The winner will get the jelly beans and the money will go to the
replanting of trees and helping koala and all the other animals.
We will send a cheque to WWF ( world wildlife fund) to support
Australia.
Thank you for supporting this fundraiser!
