It is very hard to believe that this past week was a short week! We sure packed in a lot of activities! With Pink Shirt Day, the release of our video and the Spell-a-thon it was incredibly busy! It was lots of excitement for many and the upcoming week will be another short one with a PD Day on Friday. We are also starting March on Wednesday - so it will be an early dismissal!
On Monday, February 27 is our school fundraiser meeting at 6:30 in the staff room. All parents are welcome to attend! Hope to see you there!!
PINK SHIRT DAY VIDEO!
An extra special THANK YOU to our own Mr. Walmsley for his part in the editing of the video and as well to his colleagues at Shaw TV Edmonton: Chris, Angelika, Ray and Sheldon. Without this fantastic team and their donation of time and energy, this video would be no where near the same quality as the amazing product that was the final result. We are very pleased and for a number of us it created a lifetime memory!!
A part of our plan in creating the video was not just to show how kindness matters at school; but also that kindness matters on the internet and that we can have a positive impact worldwide. By the time we revealed the video to the students, it had been seen over 2000 times. During our assemblies, and in the classroom, we continue to show the kids how messages can spread on the internet. On Facebook alone almost 8,000 people have seen the video. If you have not seen the video you can watch it here - please help us spread the message and share the video and remember to give it a thumbs up on YouTube:

SPELL-A-THON
Congratulations to all Robina Baker students - they did such a great job on their spelling tests! Thank you so much to everyone who sponsored our students - over $9, 800 was brought in! IGA also sponsored all our students $0.01/ every word spelled correctly which was $116! Your Independent Grocer also gave $1500 to the Spell-a-thon. Thank you! Together we raised $11, 459.40!
At the Spell-A-Thon Assembly, every student got an ice-treat! Every student who had 100% on their spelling test also received a coupon for a free treat at Tim Hortons! Mrs. Water's afternoon class had the most 100% tests and won an ice cream party from Dairy Queen! Mrs. Suter's class collected the most money ($958) and won a Domino Pizza Party!
A HUGE THANK YOU to the Devon Home Hardware, Tim Hortons, Florida Pizza, Subway, YIG, Heavens to Betsy, Dominos, IGA and Dairy Queen for sponsoring our program!
We would also like to add in additional gratitude to Mrs. Forchuk and Mrs. Tewitz for organizing this event. You ladies did a fantastic job once again! THANK YOU!!!!
