Dear Parents/Guardians,

Happy Thanksgiving!  Hope all of you had a wonderful long weekend.  The SKT school council is thankful for all of the parents and staff who have joined council this year to help make SKT a wonderful school for your child(ren) to attend.

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, like our upcoming Monster Mash, 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 (starting in January 2014) are open to any parent/guardian that is interested in helping out.  Please contact us if you have any questions.

SKT School Council Fundraiser

The SKT School Council has chosen Lamontagne for our fundraiser to raise funds for the school.

Your support helps the school in many positive ways as this funding enriches your child’s experience at school.  This is the only fundraiser for School Council this year.  The SKT school council provides those extras such as subsidising house t-shirts, digital cameras so that teacher’s can document what goes on at school, ipad protectors to protect the school’s investment, teachers’ supplies and many other items.  If you are curious to see how council spends the money, please feel free to contact us, or go to the school council website for more information.

Please note that all money and order forms must be returned to the school by October 22nd.  There will be no late orders.

For more information contact Angela Doyle at 613-830-0237 or angela@goyetchecounsulting.com.

**Correction to the “buy-on-line” option code, please use C154-CA184.

Mabel’s Labels:

If you want to ensure that your child’s belongings will always be returned to you, why not invest in some Mabel’s Labels to label all items that go to school.  Visit  https://mabelslabels.flipgive.com/c/11712 to place your order.
