Info for the week of Nov 3-7

November 3-7, MidSun will be collecting food bank donations for the Veterans Food Bank.  Students can bring the non-perishable food items or money donations to their TA during this week for collection and earn TA points at the same time.

On Friday November 7^th at 9:00 am we will be holding a Remembrance Day Assembly in the gym.  We welcome parents to attend.  Please contact the office prior to the date and let us know how many people you will be bringing.  

Donations will also be accepted for the Calgary Poppy Fund.  On Friday, Poppy’s will be handed out to TA’s prior to the assembly.

In a demonstration of our respect and thankfulness to the Veterans we are asking students to wear all black on Friday.

Hydration and Healthy Eating Day

October 27, 2014

Today, the first 400 students who came into school were treated to a breakfast snack and all students received a bottle of water. In classes, students discussed the importance of staying hydrated and eating a healthy breakfast and lunch.  Prizes were awarded to students who brought healthy lunches or were able to answer questions related to staying healthy. Thanks to our school nurse for brining in some informative displays about nutrition.  As we head into the Halloween season, we hope our students can enjoy their treats in moderation.

Our next healthy focus will centre around Active Living on December 1, 2 and 3.  On these days we hope to have members of our community come in and lead students in some fun fitness activities.  If you or any of your friends and neighbours teach Jazzercize, Yoga, Zumba, Dancing, or any other class that gets you up and moving, we want to hear from you! We hope to offer some fun fitness activities between 12:30 and 1:00 PM that will inspire and motivate our students to pursue active living now and into the future!  Please call Ms. Saretsky at the school if you can volunteer.

We are looking forward to seeing you at Parent Student Teacher Conferences this week.
