Day At Home

30/4/2014

Team Awesome got an unexpected day at home today due to a school closure. The RCMP were concerned about a suspicious package that was found at the same home that was involved in the pipe bomb incident awhile ago. To be on the safe side, the school was closed and the staff was moved to the Henry Grube Center on Schubert Dr. for the day.
As this is the second incident in a short period of time, some of the children might have concerns about how safe they are at school or even living in the neighbourhood. As these sorts of situations can bring up strong emotions, BEST will have a counsellor at the school tomorrow to help the children if needed.
We are hoping that school will resume as usual tomorrow and we will reschedule our river walk.

Friday Housekeeping

25/4/2014

Team Awesome may come home today with a story that I fell and hit my head... or they might not. It's hard to say sometimes what they remember as we do so much in the course of a day. I did fall and hit my head quite hard in the classroom this morning and I know it scared some of the children. Rest assured that although I have a big goose egg and a headache, I will be just fine.

Myles shared a Lego man.
The Egg Launch contest is next Friday afternoon- notices came home yesterday. Entry forms are .25. Come join the launch!

Wednesday Housekeeping

It seems odd to be posting a housekeeping notice so early in the week. You are going to love having Team Awesome at home for five days over the Easter weekend. Some of the children have told me that they are going on trips and some have company coming. And, of course, we counted down how many sleeps until Sunday.

Beth shared an Elsa doll, Iszaac had a handful of Lego men, Beni showed us his swim goggles and Tayja will be sharing her vacation pictures next week.
Tomorrow, Thursday April 17, is an NI day so the children stay home.
Friday April 18 to Monday April 21 is Easter weekend.
Tuesday April 22 is Earth Day.
Thursday April 24 is Family Math Night from 6:00-7:00.
Thursday April 24 is also our Royal Inland Hospital tour from 8:45-12:00ish. Please return permission slips as soon as possible.
The PAC sent out a Great Little Coupon Book this week as a fundraiser. If you wish to buy the coupon book it is $10. If you do not, please return the book to the office. All orders for more coupon books are due April 25 to the office.

Go forth and Be Awesome!
