Thanks to those who attended the MTSC and MTSPA meetings on Monday evening. In the council meeting, we were given an update by grade 2 teacher Mrs. Scott and grade 3 teacher Mrs. Phelan about the work those classes are doing. Mrs. Sarginson provided the leadership report and touched on some items such as the success of the Spooky Science Celebration, the upcoming Winter Festival and the school's support of the No Crib for a Bed initiative. Mr. Murphy gave an update regarding last year's grade 3 PAT results and discussed the Rocks & Rings Residency, which will introduce the sport of curling to the students at the school. Amendments to the school's funding wish list were also introduced.
Highlights of the Parent Association include a reminder that we are still looking for someone to fill the role of Fundraising Director. The person in this position will chair the fundraising committee meetings and report to the parent association about fundraising plans. If you are interested in helping as the Director or on the committee, please contact us. Tiffany gave an update on the Fundscrip gift card fundraiser and talked about the raffle being held at the winter festival on December 9th. The raffle will follow the theme of the four seasons with some great prizes. Jaime advised that planning is ongoing for a fundraising dance to be held in February. Stay tuned for more information. Finally, a motion was made and passed for the parent association to financially support the Rocks & Rings curling residency.
