Today was: Day 4
Tomorrow is: Day 5

Please see the following email sent home earlier this evening. As always, let me know if there are questions or concerns or if you are NOT receiving emails from me.

​
Good afternoon,

​Just a few updates on events and activities taking place at school. First, we have had a lot of inquiries into where students/parents can get Christina Gordon clothing. Clothing orders are done through the online Entripy Shop. Here you can order a wide variety of clothing from t-shirts to jackets in a variety of sizes. You can also choose from an assortment of colours and even choose the Christina Gordon logo you would prefer to use. In many cases, you can further personalize items by adding students' names, etc. Many of our parents and staff have ordered through our Entripy Shop and find the pricing and service very reasonable. You can order clothing online at: christinagordon.entripyshops.com. 

Second, a reminder that tomorrow, Wednesday, November 15th, is a Family Open Gym Night. This event runs from 5:30-7:00 pm in the gymnasium. The gymnasium will be open and there will be access to equipment. Please note that this is a family event. Students need to attend and participate with supervision from an adult.

Third, our Healthy Family Fun Night is coming up on November 22nd from 5:30-7:00 pm. This will be a night of healthy, active fun for the whole family! Everyone should come ready to move and bring indoor shoes. We will have a variety of stations set up for families to enjoy. Each family will receive a punch card when they arrive and the goal is to visit all stations so that completed punch cards can be submitted for a prize draw at the end of the night. Unlike some of our other family events, it is best for families to plan to arrive from 5:30 pm and stay through to 7:00 pm so they can participate in all the evening has to offer. 

Finally, please see the following updates from Leanne Allingham, Chair of our Christina Gordon School Fundraising Association:

This Saturday, November 18, 2017, Christina Gordon School Fundraising Association is hosting our very first Fall Market from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Please join us and help support many local vendors. We will have an ATM machine on site, along with a table for our poinsettia/wreath/planter fundraiser and our Fall Fire Pit Raffle Fundraiser. Wait... Fall Fire Pit Raffle Fundraiser, you say? YES! The CGSFA is having their very first raffle. Tickets are $5.00 each and will be available in the atrium on select morning and afternoon drop off/pick ups, or by contacting any executive member, or hit us up on our Facebook page, Christina Gordon School Fundraising Association. This prize is valued at over $400.00 and is stuffed full of all the goodies you will need for a backyard s’more roast.

Tomorrow is the last day for hot lunch ordering for the month of December. Please make sure all orders are placed and paid for by the end of the day, Wednesday, November 15, 2017. This Friday is also a Fri-YAY Popcorn Day. Popcorn is $2.00/bag.

Thank you everyone! As always, please let me know if there are any questions or concerns in regards to any of the above,
