1) Holiday scholastic orders: went home yesterday. Please return your order from by Dec 4th and pay online. If you would like to keep any items in this order as a holiday gift for your child please e-mail me here and I can keep the items set aside for you to pick up at the front office instead of having them sent home with the student.

Today in writing we wrote about what makes us scared and how we feel when we are sacred. Ask me about what I wrote. In the afternoon we walked to the top of the hill and sketched our tree. Ask me about the piece of art we will be creating from our sketched tree this month.

Today we had an amazing day at the Glenbow Museum. In the morning Sheldon spoke to us about the Blackfoot people and we learned a lot about the different symbols and shapes they use on their Tipies. In the afternoon Amanda taught us how to view artifacts with our eyes, hands, and bodies. Ask me about the artifacts that I explored with my different body parts.

1) Book Truck: Students will have the opportunity to return books on Wednesday Nov 29th if they still have some out. This is not our day to take books out.

2) Charlotte's Web: is Dec 7th. Please make sure you have paid online and returned your form. Thank you for your continued support.

Stephen’s Backpacks

Dream Out Loud

Royal Oak Students are supporting Stephen’s Backpacks this holiday season. Stephen’s Backpacks Society for Children in Need is an organization that was started in Airdrie by a young boy who thought it wasn’t fair that he received so much for Christmas when other children didn’t even have a bed to sleep in.

This Friday, November 24^th at 10:00 A.M. Nancy McPhee, Stephen’s Mom will be joining us for a special assembly. All parents are invited to attend.

The backpacks this year are for children who range in age from infant to grade 3. We are looking for donations of new items that can go inside of a backpack.

What could go in a backpack?

Child Backpack (4-9 years old):

·       Waterproof gloves/mittens, toque, scarf, blanket, socks

·       Book or coloring book, appropriate school supplies

·       Age appropriate toy (train, action figure, etc.)
