Winter Concert Tuesday, December 10th

When you live on the streets, a pair of warm socks stuffed with hygiene and other useful items can be a valuable gift. This year, the grade 4 Ambassador Club is organizing a grade 4 campaign to help recipients of the Mustard Seed by participating in their Warm Feet in the Street initiative. We are very lucky to be receiving a donation of socks for this project. We are asking students to donate what will go with the socks. Please, no alcohol-based items such as mouthwash, no food, and no money. Donations will be accepted in your child’s classroom until December 13. Thank you in advance for your continued support. This is a great way for our students to give back to our larger community and provide some warmth for those less fortunate this holiday season.  

Here is the link should you wish more information as well as a wish list for donations:

Waste Take-home Project

Waste & Our World: Take-Home Project

Dear Grade 4 Parents,

Our class is currently investigating problems of “Waste and Our World”. Each student has two “Household Waste Survey” sheets to be used to conduct their surveys. One survey sheet will be used to survey their own family’s habits; the other will be used to survey a family or individual other than their own, for the purpose of finding out the waste collection and recycling habits of others. 

You can seek out help from a neighbour, a friend or another family member to conduct the second survey. The key is that they are surveying someone who DOES NOT live in their household. 

Students can either fill out the survey online by clicking on the following link and making a copy, or they can print a copy at home. https://bit.ly/2NduPRR

I appreciate your cooperation and help with this take-home project. The survey is to be completed for our Science class on November 12th.

Sincerely,

Ms. Curnew
