LES FAMILLES DE SAM
All students have been sent their Familles group colour. Please connect with the office if you do not know what Familles de Sam your child has been assigned.
We are very excited to start this initiative.
FEES
As you may have noticed most of the Field Trips are not yet in your MyCBE accounts. We are working with the CBE to have these entered as soon as possible.
Once fees are ready to be paid, we will communicate this with you.
It is important to please pay your fees when they are available as the school must prepay for Field Trips. The fees you see, for example Alien In Line, are school-wide experiences that we were able to enter at an earlier date.
Class field trips and experiences are being planned and scheduled throughout the year, so fees are entered as they arise.
Thank you for your understanding.
PRACTICUM STUDENTS
Sam Livingston has been given the opportunity to host a variety of practicum students from 3 different programs: MRU Education (Mme Jessica in Kindergarten, Mme Abra an MRU Education Assistant and Ms. Amany and Mr. Russell, U of C Bachelor of Social Work students).
HALLOWEEN COSTUMES
Halloween is a Tuesday this year. We look forward to seeing all the different costumes that students choose to wear.
Please note, wearing a costume is not mandatory and personal choice will be respected.
If your child chooses to wear a costume, we request no masks, no make-up and no weapons.
We also are requesting you not to send candies and sweets to school on this day.
If your child is swimming, please stay tuned for directions from the classroom teachers around when it would be best to put on the costume (before swimming or after swimming).
MESSAGE FROM COUNCIL
Get ready to dance the night away at our bewitching Halloween Dance on October 19 with doors opening at 6pm and it goes until 8pm! 👻
Join us for a thrilling evening of ghoulish fun, as we celebrate the spirit of the season. The haunted dance floor awaits, and you won't want to miss it. Costumes are encouraged, so come dressed to impress in your most creative attire. Please no weapons or gory costumes.
If you haven't already bought your ticket; admission is just $5 at the front door, so be sure to bring your cash for entry. If you have pre-purchased tickets please have confirmation or receipt from Healthy Hunger as proof of payment. But remember, this is not a "drop-off" event; parents are required to stay and join in the fun with their little ghouls and goblins.
While you're here, don't forget to try your luck at our eerie cake walk, where you could win a deliciously haunted treat! Cake walk and Bake Sale items are each $1 so bring your loonies and toonies! Parents, you'll need to be present for your kids to indulge in any snacks or bake sale items
Mark your calendars and spread the word - it's going to be a Halloween Dance to remember! Don't miss out on a night of monstrous music, eerie delights, and family-friendly frights. See you there!
