SCHOOL NEWS...
Waste Free Lunch Challenge - April 29 to May 3: In an effort to engage students in small environmental initiatives that can have a big impact, our school is participating in the week-long Waste-Free Lunch Challenge from April 29 to May 3. Please help your child pack waste-free lunches for our event and help us fulfil a number of goals:
- Reduce the amount of waste generated by our school and to engage students, staff, and parents on the 3R’s principles of Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle.
- Encourage fresh and nutritious lunches (many pre-packaged lunch items contain significant amounts of sodium, preservatives and fat).
- Help you reduce the cost of lunches: a waste-free lunch can cost as little as $2.50 per day, whereas a regular lunch containing pre-packaged items can cost $4.50 or more per day.
See the attached PDF for more information on how you can help your child be a Zero Waste Hero!
Reminder to Parents: Friday, May 10th is a Non-Instructional Day. Students do not attend school.
Reporting of Student Absences: A friendly reminder for families to ensure that you contact the school Safe Arrival Line at 250 658-4002 if your child will be absent from school. If you’re child will be away for more than one day, please ensure that you call of all the days that you child will be away. This is a huge help to the Safe Arrival Parent Volunteers. Thank you!
