Scholastic

Scholastic Book Orders will be making their way home in your child's backpack.  This is a monthly program where families can order books for their personal use while helping to build their child's classroom library at the same time.  If you are interested in ordering books, please complete the order form located on the flyer.  Payment can be made by cheque (to Scholastic Canada) or online (please follow the instructions sent home).  No cash will be accepted.  If books are intended to be a gift, please attach a note to the order so arrangements can be made for a convenient pick up.  Otherwise, books will be sent home in your child's backpack.  

Happy Reading!!

Orders are due September 30th!

Terry Fox Walk

St. Gabriel will be walking on September 30th to help raise money for cancer research in honour of Canadian hero, Terry Fox.  While the rest of the school population will be walking to the Beaver Pond, the Kindergarten students will stay on school property walking the perimeter of the school yard. A donation of $1-$2 is greatly appreciated in support of this special cause. Thank you for your support.

Fire Drill Practice

Today we practiced our very first fire drill.  The students did an amazing stopping activity, lining up and exiting the school. It was a job well done.  Here is a link to the social story we watch as part of our preparation. 

International Dot Day!!

Today we celebrated "The Dot" by Peter H. Reynolds.  The kinders made their marks...each one special and unique.  All artists.

House Keeping :)

Hello!  Pizza and Milk order forms have been sent home.  If you are interested in ordering pizza or milk for your child please complete the forms and send them to school with a cheque.  Thank you!

If you are looking for more information about St. Gabriel School, you are welcome to visit our school website.  Here you will find calendars for upcoming events, tweets, parent council information and other great stuff.  http://gab.ocsb.ca/

Lastly, it is very important that all items be labeled with your child's name.  As hard as teachers try to assist students in keeping their belongings organized, items do get misplaced. It is very common for kinders to not recognize their belongings.  Without a name, it makes it quite tricky for items to find their rightful owner. 

Enjoy a lovely weekend. Three cheers to a great first week of Kindergarten!
