UPDATE! Winnipeg Harvest Field Trip_POSTPONED

NOTICE: Our scheduled trip to Winnipeg Harvest has been postponed due to no busses being available to us for transportation on this day.
I am attempting to reschedule and will let you know what alternate day we've secured. My apologies.

Hi folks! You may have heard your child talking about our upcoming hunger project called Empty Bowls. To help us kick-off our look at hunger and poverty in Manitoba, we will be going to Winnipeg Harvest to learn about how they help feed people in our community, as well spend a few calories helping sort and prepare food packages for those in need.

To facilitate this important trip, 5A is seeking 1-2 parent volunteers to come along and help supervise.

Family Vacations and Time Away from School

Each year, around this time, many families plan vacation time away and I often receive parent inquiries about missing school work and requests to 'send home work in advance'. For this reason, I included in our September newsletter my policy on extended time away from school. You can access it HERE.

If you still have questions or concerns, please let me know. Thanks!

Kids In The Know Safety Program

Kids in the Know is an interactive safety education program for increasing the personal safety of children and reducing their risk of sexual exploitation. (Click HERE to access their website).

Students in 5A will be participating in this valuable program. Most students in class are already familiar with many of the topics and ideas presented in the program from previous years. Due to the nature of the content and potentially 'sensitive' topics covered, I have sent home an informational letter for parents to sign and return. The Kids In The Know program is supported across all schools within the P.T.S.D. Any questions or concerns, please let me know. Thanks!
