The Dance A Thon was a huge success on Wednesday, March 8th and everyone had a great time. It was wonderful to see so many parents and grandparents come out and share in the fun. A huge thank you to our grade 8's who led the dance too. It is greatly appreciated.

The draw for the Dance A Thon prizes will take place on Friday, March 10th. Students have until 11:00, (just after the first recess,) to get any remaining tickets in for the draw and the winners will be announced at 2:00. If a winning student is absent, their prize will be saved for when they get back. Thank you for your generous support and good luck everyone!

Valentine's Day is around the corner; share the love by ordering your child a Valentine Candy Treat Bag available for $2 through School Cash Online until tonight, Sunday at midnight. You can order extras for your child to give to their Valentine friends too. The treats will be delivered to your child's classroom on Tuesday. This fundraiser is run by the grade 8's to help offset the cost of their upcoming Ottawa trip. Thank you for your support!

The Dance A Thon preparations are well underway, but we could still use your help. Donations of prizes can be dropped off at the office anytime up until this Friday the 17th. We are looking for new toys or gift cards suitable for kids age 4 to 14, especially technology based items. Holiday gifts that weren't a big hit at your house could be great for us and small items can be combined to make larger gift baskets. Please include a note saying that it is for the Dance A Thon and who it is from. Information about the launching of the Dance A Thon will be coming home soon. We're getting EXCITED!!

As well, we are always in need of extra parents or grandparents to help out with the food days on Thursdays. Please leave a comment or send a note in with your child's agenda and we'll get back to you. Thanks for helping to making it happen.

Christmas in the Meadows is just two days away!
