Dear Parents/Guardians,

Thank you for making our movie night a success!  A big thank you to all of our parent volunteers who helped out.
  
Please save the date, we will be having a Pizza and Art night on Friday, January 31st.  This will give us an opportunity to discuss our play structure project.  We will be providing more details in early January.

The Good Shepherd Parish Advent Family Mass is Thursday, December 12th at 6:45pm.  This is a great opportunity to meet families from the other schools in our parish: Chapel Hill Catholic and Good Shepherd.  Our choir will also be performing and there will be a dessert potluck social following the mass.  If you are coming, please bring a nut free treat to share.  We hope to see you there!

If you are looking to give a gift that keeps on giving, consider giving a magazine subscription.  You can purchase a new (or renew your current) magazine subscription and a portion will go to support the school council’s activities.  Visit https://www.ccrp.ca/orders/index.php?code=ON3119 to place your order.
We wish you a wonderful Christmas season and we hope you and your children have a restful break!

Student Safety

With the winter weather, remember to be a little more careful on the roads around the school.

Our crossing guard is responsible for the safe passage of students and the public through a city warranted assigned area.  We are very lucky that she keeps our children safe as they cross the street.

Please be patient in the area around the school and in the school parking lot.  As the snow banks get higher, please watch out for other children in the area.

**************

School Council’s Purchases

The funds raised during our fundraising campaigns go directly into the SKT School Council Budget.  This budget and all financials can be reviewed by any SKT parent.  It is available online or by contacting us by email or leaving us a message at the school.

Here is an overview of some of the items that we have purchased for the school this month:
• A carpet cleaner
• Sports jerseys for the teams (thank you to Myers Orleans Chev Buick GMC for donating some funds towards the purchase of the jerseys)

Thank you to Myers Orleans Chev Buick GMC


All of the SKT students, specifically the ones on our sports teams, would like to thank Myers Orleans Chev Buick GMC for their donation to SKT School Council.  Their donation helped fund the purchase of new jerseys for the school which were much needed since the school name was changed.


Some students from St. Matthew HS were commissioned to create these jerseys for our students.  It was a great collaboration and provided those students with real world experience.

Thanks to all for making this project a success.  We wish all of our sports teams great success with these new jerseys!
