Get ready! The Scholastic Book Fair is coming our way (YAY!). Choosing their own books empowers kids and inspires them to become bolder, prouder, and stronger readers.
Here’s what you need to know about the book fair, which will take place November 6 to November 8th from 9 am - 4 pm in the Learning Commons.
The fair is being held during school hours so parents have 1 of 3 options:
You can send money with your child on their library day and they can make a purchase during their library time
Your child can shop during their library time and put their choice (with a permission note) on hold until you come to pay between 3 - 4pm
You can drop by and shop between 3 - 4 pm
The countdown to more book joy is on! See you at the Fair!
Happy reading,
Our Kindergarten Poinsettia and Winter Arrangements Fundraiser is back!

Please join us this month for a special School Council meeting! Shelley Odishaw, Vice-President of the Alberta School Council Association (ASCA) will be joining us to present on her role and how we can better serve our community as a School Council.
Who is ASCA? "ASCA was founded in 1929 and their role has evolved to promote and support strong school communities with effective school councils as a means to facilitate collaborations among education partners, including parents, to enhance student learning."
We are very excited to welcome Shelley to our next meeting and hope you can join us, November 29th @1:30 PM.
HOT LUNCH:
The November Hot Lunch menu has been posted and completed. If you missed ordering for November hot lunches, please watch for updates in December! The Hot Lunch team has some very fun treats planned in addition to regular lunches.
Every month our Hot Lunch Committee will be asking volunteers from different grades for parent volunteers to help pick-up and hand out lunches. In November we're asking for parents/guardians from the Grade 1 classes to help execute our program.
Please see Loretta Zolinski at the office for steps on completing a criminal check with our RCMP. This is a required step to volunteer at the school and is at no cost to our volunteers. Keep in mind, it takes about one week turnaround time to receive the appropriate documentation from the RCMP station.
If you have questions or would like to volunteer, we would love to hear from you! Please contact your lunch committee at: eolrshotlunches@gmail.com. Thank you for supporting the hot lunch initiative.
