Thank you to all of our families who came out for the Student Led Conferences. It was was wonderful to see so many students sharing what they are learning with all of you! If you are interested in checking out a few pictures from that day, you can click here: https://goo.gl/QUVsBL A few of these pictures even made it into the paper! I just love seeing our school and all the awesome things we are doing being featured in the Dispatch. The students love it too and we often get to see their excitement when they bring in their featured pics the following Monday.
A BIG THANK YOU to all who supported our Book Fair as well. It was another rousing success and there will be many many new books in our library to read due to everyone's support and generosity. THANK YOU Mrs. Raugust and volunteers who put in many extra hours to make this happen!
KLONDIKE RELAYS
Klondike relay practices have started! All students in grade 3 and 4 who were interested have been practicing all week. They all brought home forms to fill out on Friday. If they some how forgot it or lost it, you can get a copy here: https://goo.gl/RnoYPf Also, permission forms will be up on Power School on Monday. It will be an optional item that you need to add to your cart. We would like all permission forms and fees in before students head out for spring break as we have to have our numbers and entry in asap.
We often hear the question, "why didn't practices start sooner?" I thought I would answer that here. February and March is a tricky time with floor hockey, drama practices, students in regular hockey, our gym being used by other schools for basketball and we end up usually only have 2 weeks to pull things together. This is why we practice at lunch every day for two weeks.
You will notice the bus fee is higher this year to go to the relays. Normally we share a bus with RMS, however, they are not attending this year and as a result our bus cost is up a little. The relay event is on Tuesday, April 4th and we will be leaving school at 3:45 to reach the Butterdome in time to find a spot to sit, warm up and get our registration package before the event begins at 5:00 pm. If any parents want to come and help out by supervising a group of students in the stands, we would appreciate the extra sets of hands!
A day filled with green . . . and pots of gold . . . and leprechauns . . . and . . .
St. Patrick's Day filled our school to the rafters with green! There were leprechaun tracks and traps and all kinds of St. Paddy's day fun added to the curriculum for the day. What awesome school spirit RBES!! Here a just a few more pics: https://goo.gl/Dd5acs

NEW FAMILY DANCE INFO!
March 23: 5:30 - 8:00 pm
Are you getting excited for the DANCE??
WE SURE ARE!!! We have been
planning like crazy!!! This is going to be a great night to help get us in the
mood for SPRING BREAK!
There are a few new things happening this year with the dance. We have the Town of Devon BBQ trailer coming
to feed us all supper. $5.00 buys you a
Combo! (hot dog, two treats and a
drink) Treats include applesauce, veggie
bags, chips and granola bars.
We are also doing a pre-order on PowerSchool. Hate standing in
line? Order your tickets by Tuesday at
midnight and we will pack up your tickets and send them home in your child’s
Kanga Pouch. That way when Thursday
rolls around, you can walk right into the dance, pick up your food, and enjoy
the night.
Other than your $5.00 admission ticket, all other tickets are
interchangeable! All worth $1. If you buy a hot dog combo, or the $20 ticket
pack you will receive the same types of tickets for both. That way if you get to the dance, and you
only end up needing one hot dog combo instead of two, you can use the extra
tickets at the cakewalk, or inside the dance.
We also have a Silent Auction this year and the auction items that are
coming in are surpassing our expectations.
We have two signed Hockey Pictures (Gordie Howe), a pair of Snowshoes,
Dinner for 6 at Taste of China, massages, pedicures, a pair of sunglasses, kids
toys, board games, a Classic Race Car Track, and more. If you would like to bid on an item please
bring cash or cheques to the dance.
The last surprise we have is that if we get 100 tickets donated, the
Robina Baker Staff have a Special Dance planned for the end of the night! We will definitely need our phones out for
that one!
Hope to see everyone there!
If you have any questions please contact Becky Dupont at
rbescouncil@gmail.com
