Hello Robina Families,
The new school year is off to a flying start! I would like to officially welcome our new staff members: Mrs. Porter who is teaching PK, Miss Starostecki (1C), Miss Coleman (2A) and Miss Potter (4B)!! They have all hit the ground running and are a fabulous addition to our Robina Baker family!
Our first Friday character education assembly was a great success. The former students quickly fell back into routine and our new grade 1s did a great job learning what our assemblies are all about. We had Constable Durling out to show a quick video on "Back to School Safety" and to introduce himself to our students. Constable Durling is our school liaison officer and we see him periodically throughout the year. Our first theme of the year is "RESPECT"! Here is a link to the Safety Video that we watched: https://goo.gl/uYkFKN We will be getting our "Student of the Week" program started on Friday, September 30. All parents are welcome to attend any of our assemblies.

Lord Strathcona's Musical Ride
We are thrilled to let you know that Robina Baker is hoping to be presenting the Mounted Troop of the Lord Strathcona's Horse Musical Ride on Wednesday, September 21. We have sent in our booking, but we are waiting for confirmation.
Established to commemorate the original mounted cavalry regiment of Lord Strathcona’s Horse (Royal Canadians) raised in 1900 for the Boer War, its first volunteers were from the towns and ranches of Western Canada. The Troop is made up of volunteer members of Lord Strathcona’s Horse (Royal Canadians), an active Armour Unit in the Canadian Forces that traded in horses for tanks in the 1930s. Many of the soldiers are veterans of Afghanistan and other peacekeeping tours.
More information will be coming home soon!
