We’ve had a great week in the Grade Five classroom!  Here are a few things coming up over the next week…

Bible Memory Verse is due on Monday: Please encourage your child to memorize their weekly verses.

MESSY Art Project on Wednesday – Bring clothes that can get dirty!!  Students will wear their uniforms until lunch and then change into tops and bottoms that can get dirty.  We will be working with tempera paint, which washes out of clothing, but I would hate for your child to come home with paint-filled uniforms!

Immigration Project:   We’re excited to be starting a new Social Studies unit on immigration. Your child has come home with an Immigration interview sheet, and we’d love for them to interview a family member over the next week to hear their immigration story. This could be you, a grandparent, or a great-grandparent. If the person who immigrated isn’t available for an interview, please have someone who knows the immigration story step in for the interview. These interview sheets are due on Thursday, February 15th.

Clean Water Fundraiser:  Please consider supporting this important fundraiser!  Our goal is to raise $6,000 in February. Donations can be made online: Clean Water Project Donations (jotform.com) or at the school office.  All donations $20 or above will receive a tax receipt.

A reminder that next Friday is a Pro D Day and the following Monday is Family Day.

Upcoming Dates:

Fri, Feb 16th – Pro D Day

Mon, Feb 19th – Family Day

Thurs, Feb 22nd – Pink Shirt Day
