This week's reminders and updates:

1) Halloween is coming...  and on a Monday!  Teachers are all resting up this week to prepare.  The staff theme is storybook characters.  If you are able to join us please feel free to dress up and join in.  We would ask that since we have many younger students at the school that you do not allow your child to wear fake blood, bring real or fake weapons and wear scary masks.  We appreciate your support with this.  Our haunted house (for those who dare) is from 8:30-10:00, the school parade will start at 11:15am and our movie begins at 1pm.  Gym 2 is for Grades 4-6 and they will be watching Maleficent and Gym o1 is for Grades 1-3 and they will be watching Curse of the Were Rabbit (Wallace and Grommit).  For those not watching the movie, the library will be open for puzzles and games.  Thank you to school council for organizing these movies and providing popcorn!

2) King Fu Panda 3 is on tonight (Friday) at 6:30pm in the gym.  Tickets are $5 can be bought online and at the door & includes popcorn.  

3) Still looking for volunteers!  Do you love Pokemon and/or Lego?  We are looking for volunteers to run a Pokemon and Lego club a Monday or Friday on the second break.

4) Ski club is starting up again.  If you need more information please go to: https://wapscouncil.wordpress.com

If you need financial support for your child to participate, please contact Megan (megan.egerton@ocdsb.ca or 613-722-6585)

5) Lice is in every school.  It can be very stressful and difficult to get rid of.  Please talk to your children about avoiding sharing hats and scarves.  For more information please visit the Ottawa public health website.  If the cost of treating lice is prohibitive for you, please let the school know and we will do our best to support you.

6) Retake day will be on Tuesday, November 2, 2016.  If you haven't dropped off your orders yet, please try to get them in for November 2nd as another pick up will be done that day.

7) We Scare Hunger comes to an end on Monday.  Thank you for taking the time to support this worthy cause.  If you have things to donate please try to have them at the school before 9am.
