We Club will be providing lots of optional opportunities for giving back: Giving Tree We have adopted a family of 13 from GW Skene. Stop by the Giving Tree and pick up a gift tag off the tree. Shop with your family to fill the need on the card and return the unwrapped gift and card by Monday, December 18. Fill a Sock, Fill a Need, Fill a Heart You have probably seen the boxes and posters placed around the school for this initiative already. We are accepting donations to fill socks for the homeless at the Drop In Center to open on Christmas morning. Toothbrushes, gloves, mitts, hats, travel size toiletries, hair brushes, combs, gift cards (McDonalds, Tim Hortons, Subway), cough drops, candies, lip balm, travel mugs. (We already have lots of floss and tooth paste). Making Memories Sale On the evening of the Making Memories Sale, our WE Club students will be selling ornaments and some other handmade items. All proceeds will be split between the Drop In Center, our adopted family and the Food Bank. The week before the Making Memories night, we will be showing off some of our beautiful handicrafts to entice some sales the evening of December 14th. We look forward to sharing a fun evening together! -------------------------------------------------------------- Mayor's Food DriveThe Grade 2 students are organizing a food drive to support our local Food Bank.

While this post is short, trust me, it was a full day of learning and laughter. We got another good chunk of The One and Only Ivan in under our belts. We are looking at clues the author might have told us already on how Ivan’s life might turn out. Today was a day to work together getting our class ready for Thursday night. It will be a surprise what we have created, so make sure you come by Thursday evening to see it! Hints I will leave you: painting on big sheets, learning dry-brushing techniques, how to keep paper from wrinkling when you paint on it, and adding texture with tissue paper. Our day was interjected with recess, music, and gym outside. Cheerios! Ms Lauf Comments are closed.
