Happy Friday December 10, 2021

December Spirit Day is the last day of school this term, Friday Dec 17th, and it will be Festive Holiday themed.  That could mean, ugly holiday sweaters, dress as Santa or his elves or his reindeer or a snowmen/women, or even a lit-up holiday tree! Basically, anything to get into that holiday cheer!  

Reminders:

1. December Spirit Day Friday December 17th -Holiday themed
2. Mayor's food bank --- BRING IN ANY CANNED OR DRIED GOODS for the less fortunate.
3. Loonies for Lunch - same as above but bring in a loonie to help homeless people for their lunches

4. Patrollers will be happening this year! If you're interested we will be handing out sign up forms next week. We are also looking for some amazing parents that would be willing to support the patrollers by becoming patrol supervisors! Email me at malancee@cbe.ab.ca if you are interested.

5. No spelling next week!

6. Last day of class Dec. 17

7. Secret Santa gifts due Tuesday Dec 14 please!

Today in room 16:

We started our morning with some time to study for the two tests today. 

We then had our spelling test and marked it together. 

Immediately after we had our science test. Students that failed the test have the option to rewrite next week to pull up their mark.

We then had some time to eat snack and watch a movie while creating some collaborative holiday symbols for our holiday tree. 

We finished our day with an appreciation circle and some dodgeball in the gym. 

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Mayor's Food Drive + Loonies for Lunches

With the holiday season soon approaching it's important to care for others and give back to those who are less fortunate than us.  This holiday season, Beddington Heights School will be a part of 2 programs that the city of Calgary runs for those less fortunate.  

The first program is Loonies for Lunches.  Loonies for Lunches would bring students together to collect loonies to donate to the food bank. Each school and/or classroom would create a donation box to collect the loonies and perhaps have some healthy competition to see which class could raise the most. The loonies would then be used by the Food Bank to purchase food for our Weekends and More program that makes sure kids get the nutritious food they need on the weekends to stay healthy and learning.  

The Mayor's Food Drive is where we collect non-perishable items, i.e. can goods, sealed boxed items, for Calgary's Food Bank.  Both programs start this Monday to Dec 14th.
