And virus season begins...

As usual, it hits me first. I was home ill last Friday and Monday, so we celebrated my return on Tuesday with a giant game of dodgeball against Mme Gougeon's class. I don't think I need to say who won.




It was a very busy, and therefore very short week! We ended it on a great note - our school Terry Fox Run! I'm very proud to say that our class raised more money than we have students. I asked each one to bring in just a loonie, which was of course Terry's dream. But many brought more than that and I am so proud of their generosity!

 
Paighton and Marisa finished 1-2 respectively out of ALL the girls in the school!!

 
Yasmine and Kaylin decided to be butterflies along the way.
 
 


Tieran was inspired by a picture I showed the class of a woman doing the Terry Fox Run in Dubai - she was endurance training and was dragging two tires behind her! So he wore his backpack to challenge himself. Way to go!



Students are coming home tonight with information for our Yearley trip on October 14th and 15th. The stapled sheets are all the medical and permission forms that need to come back. Please leave them stapled together when they are returned. The cost for the Yearley trip is only $25 to cover the cost of groceries. We are in need of parent helpers for all facets of the trip.

We will be grocery shopping on Thursday, October 9. We just go across to YIGs, do our shopping and bring it back. We put everything that needs to be refrigerated one of our many school fridges so everything stays fresh.

Parent helpers are an essential part of being at Yearley. We need parents who can help throughout the day as well as parents who can spend the night. You are welcome to join us on the bus there and back!
