Weekly Update: September 25, 2015

Hello Robina Families,

Another busy week has come to an end at Robina Baker and with it the first month is almost over. Time is certainly moving quickly already. I want to sent a big THANK YOU to all the volunteers that came out for our Terry Fox Run this past Friday and to the Lions Club who came out to provide healthy snacks for RBES, Riverview and Holy Spirit. One of the members of the Lions Club came up to me at the end of the event to say that at least 90% of the students had good manners and said thank you to the members for their snacks. I was asked to mention this as he was very impressed. I would also like to send out a special THANK YOU to Mrs. Kaluza for providing the leadership on this event along with her committee members.

I shared a number of Terry Fox photos on our RBES FB page, however, you can click the link below this picture to see those and more photos of the event.

FRIDAY ASSEMBLY

This week's Friday assembly was our first Student of the Week assembly for the year. It was also the month end assembly where we have our monthly draws. As part of our Healthy Schools initiative, students who go to the LRC (Leduc Rec Center) can bring in their wristbands throughout each month and place them in the container in the office. We draw one wristband each month for a winner of a family swim pass to the LRC. This month we drew winners for the activity from our meet the staff night. Last but not least, Golden Garbage Can certificates were awarded. Miss Betty appreciates all the effort that everyone puts in to help keep our school clean. As always, all parents are welcome to attend any assembly. Teachers will notify the parents of the student of the week winners so that if you are able you can attend to see your child recognized. I take pictures of all of the winners, so if you are unable to attend, you can still have a photo of your child. This year I am going to do an online album of our Student of the Week photos so that parents can access them immediately.

MILK DELIVERY STARTS ON TUESDAY, SEPT 29

There are 2 ways you can use your milk tickets:

1. Cut them up and send them all back to the school in an envelope or baggie — they will be kept in your child’s reading bag.   It will be up to your child to say when they will be used. 

2. Or you can send one back in your child’s reading bag on the days that you would like your child to have milk.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU

A very big THANK YOU to the Devon Bottle Depot for their generous donation to the school this month, as well as to everyone who has donated their bottles and cans to Robina Baker School when dropping off at the bottle depot.  Every donation makes a difference, and your support is very much appreciated!!

SCHOOL COUNCIL / FUNDRAISING COMMITTEE AGM

Reminder: Our AGM and elections are this Wednesday, September 30. All parents are welcome to attend. Come out and have a voice in our school.

2014/15 YEARBOOKS

The yearbooks from last year will be coming out closer to the end of October. I apologize as I took so many photos last year, that I had a tough time getting them all sorted and organized as time seemed to run away from me. I am just about done the layouts to send in. But not to worry, I am already more organized for this year. Thank you Mrs. Horrocks for doing all the class and individual photo pages!

Upcoming dates to note:

Monday, Sept 28: School Wide Lice check
Wednesday - Friday, September 30 - Oct 2.: Safely on Board bus presentations for each class

School Picture Days are coming soon! October 14 and 15. Mark your calendars!

Have a lovely weekend,
