Guest Speaker and Fun Run: On Thursday, November 20th, we are pleased to have inspirational speaker, Fred Fox, speak to our Grades 3-5 students. Fred Fox represents the Terry Fox Run for cancer awareness. Following his presentation, ES students will participate in a fun run around the DAA track. For this reason, we ask all students to wear their PE uniform that day.
Thanksgiving, November 26th: On Wednesday, November 26th all grades 3-5 classes will enjoy a picnic lunch together on the grass soccer field in celebration of Thanksgiving. Together with our school cafeteria lunch provider we are pleased to offer a 'Thanksgiving Picnic Pack' for those students who are interested in purchasing one (This lunch is optional. Children may bring their own lunch on this date. No hot lunch service will be available for ES students). Please refer to the flier sent home earlier this week. Orders are due back to classroom teachers by Wednesday, November 19th.
A note from the ES Student Council: On Wednesday November 26th, in addition to giving thanks (celebrating American Thanksgiving) we encourage the students to also give….a pair of shoes. The ES will be hosting a run around the track to increase awareness of the plight in Syria. We are partnering with the charity Socks and Soles for Syrians to collect gently used shoes to send to Syria. As a symbolic gesture to the charity, students will be invited to run around the track in just their socks, silly socks encouraged! We don’t really want them to donate the shoes off their feet, though. So, please send your child to school on Wednesday with shoes you no longer need and would like to donate. All sizes and styles are welcome, but please no high heels.
