The question:

What are some important things you appreciate about our district and what areas for improvement do you see?

Thoughts that do not answer the question; are rude or hurtful to a person or group of people; clearly identify a person or school will be removed from the exchange.

November 13/18 - Angel Tree 2018

Dear Gibson-Neill Families,

Each year at Christmas time, our school recognizes the importance of supporting families in need. Last year we started Christmas Tree Angels, it was a great success. It is a unique holiday assistance program that connects a generous individual or group with a deserving child (or “Angel”) in need. If your family is in need of help this Christmas, please fill out the form that will be sent home on November 13th and return it to the school no later than Monday, November 19^th. Your request will be added to an Angel and placed on a tree near our school's office. Your child’s name will not be on the angel. Anyone in our school community (including staff, parents and visitors) may then choose one or more angels to purchase the requested gift item. The Angel tree will be on display by November 21^st.

Some examples of items you could ask for include:

Clothing or boots (Need); books or toys (Want) ($30 or less). Please be specific and detailed in your requests.

Please Note: electronics, video games or technology will NOT be added to the tree.

Please bring unwrapped gifts to the office, with the Angel attached to the gift, by December 10^th.

Did you know . . .
October 28
Teachers purchase students' school supplies with their own personal funds? Once parents send in the $45 fee using School Cash Online, or send cash to the school, teachers will then be issued a cheque for the amount they have spent (which cannot exceed what they have collected). Teachers purchase supplies in bulk, and often will earmark a certain portion of the school fees to offset the future cost of field trips or other special events. Thank you to those who have already paid. If you are experiencing difficulty paying your child(ren)'s student fees please contact your child's teacher. Teachers are very willing (and understanding) to set up a payment plan with you.

Howlfest is Saturday, October 27th from 4-6pm? Volunteers are welcome!

Math-a-thon Totals are in!! Thank you for your contributions to the track fund which total $6,786.85!
