Did you know We are blessed to have two student teachers in our school this year as they build their knowledge and experience towards the most rewarding profession.teaching! Kennedie Wolosyn and Melissa Kueber are both second year students attending the University of Alberta. Melissa is completing her practicum alongside our Sports Academy team, on the ice with our hockey students, in addition to working with Ms. Leis in Grade 6. Kennedie is teaching our Grade 1 students with Mrs. Pratt and our Grade one team. Both of our student teachers also organized our bake sale for the We Day students this past week, which raised $260! We will be re-visiting our BEAR program during our student assembly on Monday, November 14th. We will be focusing on the theme of RESPECT for Self and Others during November and December. We show respect by speaking and acting with courtesy. We treat each other with dignity and honour the rules of our family, school and follow Jesus as our greatest teacher to do unto others, as we would have them do unto you. Thank you to all the families that participated in our Christmas Art Card and Fundscrip Gift Card Fundraisers! Distribution date is Monday, November 21 Stay tuned next week to find out which class raised the most money for the Fundscrip fundraiser and wins the pizza party from Nitza's pizza! 2

Help us raise money and join our gift card fundraiser! What is the FundScrip fundraising program? Fundscrip is an innovative program that lets you earn cash rebates for our group based on things you buy everyday like groceries, gas and other household items. Every month you spend hundreds of dollars for things like food, gas, clothing, pharmacy, restaurants, electronics, home renovations, department stores, and so on. All you have to do is pay for some or all of your purchases using GIFT CARDS bought at face value from FundScrip participating retailers and a percentage of every gift card purchased is contributed to our group s fundraising efforts. So instead of paying with cash or a debit card, you use a gift card that you purchased through our group. It costs you nothing extra but you just earned money for our organization.
