Birthday Treats in Classrooms – we understand the importance of celebrate a child’s special day with their classmates but are asking families to keep birthday treats sent to school small.  At this time, only commercially produced food items are allowed to be shared in a class.  A small treat is welcome, a cookie or small cupcake, but please do not send large platters of food or sheets of cake to be cut or served.  If you are unsure if what you would like to send is appropriate, please let me know.  Thank you for your understanding.

Hoop Dancing – All of our students will have the opportunity to participate in two workshops on October 4^thand 5^th, with hoop dancer Alex Wells.  To watch a video of Alex Wells visit here.

South Vancouver Neighbourhood House is offering a Healthy Parent, Healthy Child Talk on Saturday, October 22 from 9:30AM to 12:30PM. We have a Child Psychologist as our resource speaker and we have resources from DDA. Please see attachment for more information.

Halloween Costumes – As we are planning ahead about our children’s costumes, please be remember that play weapons of any kind are not allowed at school – this includes play swords, knives, guns, nunchaku etc.  As well, we acknowledge at our school that culture is not costume.  Students are welcome to wear costumes to school on October 31st.
