Agenda - Jr. Tech: Mondays, 3:15-4:15 pm - Sr. Choir: Tuesdays, 3:15-4:15 pm - Sign Language Club: Wednesdays, 3:15-4:15 pm - Grade 3 Sharpen the Saw Club: Wednesdays, 3:15-4:15 pm - Hot Lunch Program: Tuesdays, Thursdays - December Book Orders: December 19th deadline - Classroom Celebration: December 19th - Food Bank Drive: December 16-19th - Holiday Spirit Week: December 16-19th (see below) Please see the following email, shared earlier today: Good morning, Before I begin with our usual updates, a quick note to let parents know that there will be no extra-curricular clubs/activities after school tomorrow, Wednesday, December 18th. Both Sharpen the Saw Club and Sign Language Club are cancelled and will resume again in January. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. Just a few reminders in regards to our last week of school for 2019! First, thanks to our Christina Gordon School Fundraising Association, our students will be treated to their second annual Winter Feast tomorrow! The Winter Feast will be available for all students from ECDP to Grade 6. The Fundraising Association will be providing a turkey dinner for our students, with vegetarian lasagne as a option for our vegetarian students. Because only the dinner is being provided, students are still encouraged to bring their usual snacks along with something to drink with their dinner if they wish. A huge thanks to the parents on our Fundraising Association for once again providing this very special event to help us celebrate the holiday season. Second, even though Winter Feast is tomorrow, we will still have a small classroom celebration on Thursday. As a class, we have made some decisions about what we would like to do for our celebration. As we are getting to eat together tomorrow at Winter Feast, we are not going to have snacks at our classroom celebration. Instead, we have decided on two activites. First, we are going to be working together to build some obstacle courses. Students will be in teams and create a winter-themed obstacle course that we can then participate in. Second, we are going to be building some blanket forts. Thursday is already Pyjama Day. We are going to take it one step further. Students can bring in blankets, pillows, etc. and we will be building some blanket forts that we can then play some party games, read in, etc. with flashlights so we are truly warm and cozy! Third, a reminder that we have two deadlines approaching this week. Students have until Thursday to bring in any Food Bank donations for our ongoing Food Bank Drive. Families also have until Thursday to place any December book orders. I will be closing the orders on Friday, so please make sure that you complete your order by Thursday evening. Thanks everyone! As always, please let me know if you have any questions or concerns in regards to any of the above, - Ashley Barrington, Grade 3 Teacher Agenda - Jr. Tech: Mondays, 3:15-4:15 pm - Sr. Choir: Tuesdays, 3:15-4:15 pm - Sign Language Club: Wednesday (CANCELLED) - Grade 3 Sharpen the Saw Club: Wednesdays (CANCELLED) - Hot Lunch Program: Tuesdays, Thursdays - Winter Feast: December 18th - December Book Orders: December 19th deadline - Classroom Celebration: December 19th - Food Bank Drive: December 16-19th - Holiday Spirit Week: December 16-19th (see below) Agenda - Jr. Tech: Mondays, 3:15-4:15 pm - Sr. Choir: Tuesdays, 3:15-4:15 pm - Sign Language Club: Wednesday (CANCELLED) - Grade 3 Sharpen the Saw Club: Wednesdays, 3:15-4:15 pm - Hot Lunch Program: Tuesdays, Thursdays - Winter Feast: December 18th - Door Decorating Contest: Dec. 18th (bring recyclables: paper rolls, water bottles, boxes, cans, etc.) - December Book Orders: December 19th deadline - Classroom Celebration: December 19th - Food Bank Drive: December 16-19th - Holiday Spirit Week: December 16-19th (see below) Agenda - Jr. Tech: Mondays, 3:15-4:15 pm - Sr. Choir: Tuesdays, 3:15-4:15 pm - Sign Language Club: Wednesdays, 3:15-4:15 pm - Grade 3 Sharpen the Saw Club: Wednesdays, 3:15-4:15 pm - Hot Lunch Program: Tuesdays, Thursdays - Grades 1-3 Christmas Concert: December 12th (6:00 pm) - Winter Feast: December 18th - Door Decorating Contest: Dec. 18th (bring recyclables: paper rolls, water bottles, boxes, cans, etc.) - December Book Orders: December 19th deadline - Classroom Celebration: December 19th - Holiday Spirit Week: December 16-19th (see below) Agenda - Jr. Tech: Mondays, 3:15-4:15 pm - Sr. Choir: Tuesdays, 3:15-4:15 pm - Sign Language Club: Cancelled - Grade 3 Sharpen the Saw Club: Cancelled - Hot Lunch Program: Tuesdays, Thursdays - Grades 1-3 Christmas Concert: December 12th (6:00 pm) - Door Decorating Contest: Dec. 18th (bring recyclables: paper rolls, water bottles, boxes, cans, etc.) - December Book Orders: December 19th deadline - Holiday Spirit Week: December 16-19th (see below) Please see the following email, shared by Ms. Barrington earlier this evening: Good evening, Just a few updates on events and activities taking place at school over the next few weeks. First, a reminder that the Division 1 (Grades 1-3) Christmas Concert will be taking place on December 12th at 6:00 pm. The doors will open at approximately 5:30 pm. Students are asked to meet their teachers in their classrooms to await their performance time. Students in Grade 3B are welcome to wear sunglasses as part of our performance. We do ask that all families plan to attend the entire concert. It is very distracting and disruptive to have people leaving during the performance. Be respectful of the hardwork and dedication the students have put into preparing and rehearsing for this performance. At the end of the concert, families will come and pick up their student at their classrooms. Please let me know if your student will not be attending the concert. I will pass that information along to Mrs. Power to help with planning the event. Attached is a poster with all of the dates/times for all the concerts on it. Second, a few students have been asking for further information on ordering from the Hot Lunch Program. Orders must be made online to ensure accuracy and to make the process as easy for everyone as possible. Orders for January need to be submitted by December 15th, 2019. Any unpaid orders will be cancelled after this deadline. The Hot Lunch Program is only available for students through Grs. 1-6. The Fundraising Association are only able to accept hot lunch order payments through PayPal (www.paypal.com). No cheque or cash payments will be accepted at any time. You may pay with a credit card as a PayPal guest (Visa, Mastercard, or Amex) or set up your own PayPal account. Please Note: should you experience any issues with your PayPal account, you must contact PayPal directly to solve the issue. To place a hot lunch order:
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the Hot Lunch Program, contact Jen Hoilund (Fundraising Association President). You can also follow the Fundraising Association on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=christina%20gordon%20school%20fundraising%20association&epa=SEARCH_BOX. Third, a reminder about our Salvation Army Angel Tree located in the atrium at Christina Gordon School. On this tree are Angel Tags. Each tag represents a local child in need during this season. The tag will indicate the gender of the child, their age, their size and provide some ideas for gifts that the child would like receive. If you would like to help out with this project please take a tag, purchase a gift for that specific child, and place it, unwrapped, in a gift bag with the angel tag tied or taped to the front of the bag. Please bring or send the gift back to Christina Gordon School and place it under the Angel Tree, they will then be hand delivered to the Salvation Army and given to those specific children. Tags will only be available until tomorrow, December 6th. The gifts must be returned to the school by December 10th at the latest to be delivered in a timely manner. Finally, our school will be hosting a Holiday Spirit Week, which will run from December 16-19th (the last week of school). The theme days are as follows:
Students do not have to donate in order to participate. This Spirit Week is just to get us all in the holiday spirit! As part of the Spirit Week, we will also be having our fourth annual CG Recyclers Door Decorating Contest. Our class has already begun to plan our door decorations for the contest. We are hoping to build a gingerbread house, but need a few materials in order to make our plans a reality. We are looking for the following items: small boxes (ie. cereal, granola bars, etc.), containers and lids, plastic water bottles and lids, pop cans, toilet paper rolls, and clean wrappers. If you are able to donate any of the following items we would appreciate it. They can be sent to school any day this week or next week. Stay tuned for more information on our Healthy Classroom Celebration, which will take place on Thursday, December 19th.
