- Zumbathon in the afternoon! Keep bringing those pledges in! For every $20 in pledges, students get a ballot in a draw for gift cards, and for every $50 in pledges, they get a ballot in a draw for a chromebook! The Zumbathon is the Principal's Fundraiser this year, and funds raised go directly back into the school. Thank you for your support! The kids LOVE it!
*Thursday - Muffin Breakfast and Open House - Drop by anytime after 8:30 a.m. with your children to see the dance team perform, view the awesome recycled material Canada symbols each class has made, and enjoy a fresh-baked muffin and cup of coffee, tea or juice. Students must be with a responsible adult, of course. Stay during first block and tour the primary classrooms, or help make sandwiches for the Shepherd's of Good Hope in the junior classrooms. As indicated in the letter sent home by Mme Blier-Kitchen last week, and copied below, students are asked to bring in a loaf of bread, 10 slices of ham or bologna, and 10 slices of process cheese, if possible. Teachers will provide the margarine and mustard.
Dear Parents, Education Week, May 2017
“Sent to be the Good News”
Show Mercy
As part of our Education Week activities and Religion program, the junior students will be asked to help make sandwiches for the Shepherds of Good Hope Sandwich Program.
“The Soup Kitchen operates 365 days of the year producing an astounding 350-400 hot and nutritious noon meals, together with 90 hot breakfasts, and 200 evening meals served in shelters every evening. Additionally, 860 sandwiches are distributed as ‘take-aways’ per day.”
In order to support this initiative, on Thursday, May 4, 2017, each student will be asked to bring to school 1 loaf of bread and enough cold meat and sliced cheese to make sandwiches with their loaf of bread ( ie. 20 slices of bread will make 10 sandwiches, 10 slices of meat, 10 slices of cheese). Shepherds of Good Hope recommends that each student bring in ham or bologna, and Kraft processed cheese slices. The teachers will bring in the mustard and margarine.

= 
approximately 10 sandwiches made per student
An employee from The Shepherds of Good Hope will be visiting the students to give a presentation on the services the Shepherds provide. The sandwiches will be taken downtown to be distributed to their clients throughout the day, on Thursday.
Your support in this initiative is much appreciated. Parents are welcome to come and help the students make sandwiches, after the school breakfast on Thursday. Thank you !
