Reminder

Just a reminder that you should be updating your electronic portfolios when you get the chance. We will be showing our portfolios on Tues November 23 and Thursday November 25 from 5:30-8:00. You can choose the night and the time that you want to show your parents. There are no appointments necessary.

Remembrance Day

Our Remembrance Day Service will be held on Wednesday November 10 at 1:00. Everyone is welcome to attend. Please dress up tomorrow, so that we may show our respect. Students are also encouraged to bring in a donation for a poppy.

For our journal #8 entry, students were read aloud the poem "Why Wear A Poppy?" and are asked to respond to this poem in their journal. Some of the entries so far, are very thoughtful. We will be posting some of their ideas tomorrow.

GeoCaching

In Geocaching the main idea is to find an object. To start you have to find a course on the internet, it will have co-ordinates to the object hidden. Then you have to put the co-ordinates into your GPS and it will lead you about ten feet away from the object and then you will have to look really hard becouse some are extremely hard to find.

I like the part in Geochaching where you look around for the object.

We went to the golf course on Monday November 1st and looked for bones in small white containers. We went in groups of two and three and had lots of fun.

Magazine Sales

Magazine Sales
Grade 3-8 spent the last 2 weeks selling magazines to family, friends, and neighbors.

Mr.Tichon's class has won the class pizza party by selling $3254 in magazine sales. Mrs.Zander's class came in second with $2472, and Mrs.Williams class came in third with $2288.

Our winner for the giant Toblerone was a tie between Braden Klippentein and Keenan Zander! They were the top individual sellers for our school. Congratulations, and enjoy!

All together as a school we raised $19,400, almost reaching our goal of $24,000.

A big thank-you to the Magazine Campaigne workers!

Congratulations!!

Trick or Treat?

Just thought we should mention, the student council is collecting non perishable food items for the North Norfolk Christmas Cheerboard. On Halloween night they will be trick or treating for non perishable foods. Please pass this on to other people in the community so everyone knows they may be around and ask for a can of soup or some kraft dinner instead of treats!

We would like to help their efforts, so any students who would like to bring some non perishable food items to school, are more than welcome!Some possible items include crackers, canned fruits and vegetables, baking powder, rice, kraft dinner, and soup.These are just some suggestions,but any item is most welcome!!
