Dear Parents/Guardians,
There are so

find out what council has been working on for February.

The
Lunch Lady
A new hot/cold lunch initiative started on
the 1st of this month with many kids enjoying their lunches provided
by The Lunch Lady. If you have not
ordered lunch through them and wish to please visit their website at www.thelunchlady.ca . There is a wide variety of lunches to choose
from and you can pay on-line which makes the process very easy. Check out The Lunch Lady’s website for
answers to questions and to set up a profile to start ordering for your
child(ren) today.

Book
Fair
The school library will be holding their
book fair again this year on February 25th and 26th from 8am
until 7pm on those two days.
Preview days and wish list making for the
children in the school will be on February 24th. This is a day when the kids will have the
chance to go to the library and see the books that are for sale and create
their wish lists to bring home to mom and dad!
Help is always needed on those days, so if
you are able to help out anytime from February 24th to the 26th
please get in contact with Mrs. Germain at cindy.germain@ocsb.ca.

Parent
Resources through the SKT Library!
Did you know that you can borrow Parent
Resources from the SKT library? There is
a trolley in the Learning Commons where Parent Resource Books and Magazines are
kept.
Here is how you can learn more and access
these amazing resources:
1.
Drop into the library and check
out the books and/or magazines. If Mrs.
Germain is not available to sign out an item on the cart, then you can fill in your
information in the “SIGN-OUT” book that is on the cart.
2.
Send an email to Mrs. Germain
at cindy.germain@ocsb.ca and ask for the material to be signed out and
sent home with your child.
3.
Send a note in your child’s
agenda to be delivered to Mrs. Germain.
If you have questions regarding the Parent
Resources feel free to email Mrs. Germain for more details.

Mabel’s

that your child’s belongings will always be returned to you, why not invest in

Family
Skating Party was a Success!!
Thank you to all those families that braved
that cold winter evening on January 29th
to come out and enjoy skating with your family and friends. Although the weather was maybe a little
chillier than the parents would have liked, our kids all seemed to have an
amazing time. Between hockey on the big
rink and skating in circles on the smaller pond, smiles and red cheeks were out
in full force!

SKT School Information Binder
By
now you should have received a school information binder. If you still do not have one, please send a
note in with your child for their teacher and council will ensure that your
family receives one. Again, we always
look for feedback, so if there is anything that you would like to see in the
binder, please let us know.
How
YOU Can Support Council!
We understand that all families are quite busy and may
not be able to commit to coming out to all of the council meetings, but there are
other opportunities to get involved such as volunteering for specific events or
providing feedback on any of our initiatives.
Our council meetings and all of our committees:
social/volunteer, play structure, fundraising, communications and fun fair are
open to any parent/guardian that is interested in helping out.
Please contact us if you have any questions or want to
learn more about how you can get involved!
Help in any form is always welcomed!
Cheers
from Your School Council
