Angel Tree Campaign: As is tradition here at Christina Gordon Public School, our Angel Tree has been set up again in our front atrium. For those of you who may be unfamiliar, the Angel Tree is a community initiative to ensure no one wakes up Christmas morning without something special under the tree! Families can choose a tag from the tree which will have the age and gender of a child or senior and some gift ideas. These gifts are returned, unwrapped, in a gift bag with the tag attached and will be distributed by The Salvation Army before Christmas. You can ask your child's teacher to take one from the tree and have them bring it home or you can come into the atrium and choose one yourself. For the younger grades, you can email your child’s teacher and ask for one to be placed in their backpack. You may choose as many tags as you would like. All gifts must be returned to the school no later than Tuesday, December 2nd. Thank you for participating and helping to instill citizenship into our students while making meaningful contributions to our community. If you have any questions, please contact Krista Saunders: krista.saunders@fmpsd.ab.ca.
E-Scooters: In collaboration with RCMP, Bylaw Services, SCWB and AHS we would like to bring to your attention concerns regarding the increase in the use of E-scooters. At this time E-scooters are illegal on sidewalks, roadways, etc. Bylaw is working with the municipality to have E-scooters included in the Alberta Traffic Safety Act. This will take some time and we believe that E-scooters will be a very popular item for Christmas this year.
Reward Day: Students have been working on goal setting. We have created a Sparkle Button WIG (Wildly Important Goal) for ourselves. Students have met their set goal in this area! Students have worked together and have earned more than 47 sparkle buttons for the class. As such, we will be having a Classroom Reward Day this week on Friday, November 29th. Our classroom will be having our own pyjama day where students can bring in blankets, stuffed animals, pillows, etc. During the day students will be given time for flashlight reading and to build blanket/pillow forts, etc. Students who are able to do so are encouraged to bring a flashlight. I also have a few classroom flashlights that can be shared. We are looking forward to learning and celebrating together this Friday. Students do not have to wear pyjamas if they are not comfortable doing so. It is always optional.
