Litterless Lunches

We are trying to do our part to reduce and recycle as much as possible.  We are beginning a new initiative for our students’ snacks and lunches to encourage reusable containers—we  will be asking children to take home any recyclables and garbage that come in their lunch bags.  We appreciate your support with this new program.

Sunday, January 27^th is Family Literacy Day is the largest national family literacy initiative in Canada. Every year on Jan. 27, families and communities across the country and throughout B.C. celebrate this special day!  This link has some great ideas on how to “Take 20 minutes” to make learning together part of your everyday. Engaging in literacy activities as a family improves a child’s skills and also helps adults keep their skills sharp. I hope you find some time this Sunday, January 27^th to try some of the fun ideas to get your family started!  Happy Family Literacy Day!
