School Council
October News
Hopefully now that October is upon us, you and your children
are well into a routine. I am the first to admit that getting back into a
schedule wasn’t the easiest feat to undertake. That said, I am excited for this
school year and I am excited about all the things we plan on doing with School
Council. Read on to learn more:
School Council Elections
Our next meeting will be on Tuesday, October 15th at 7 pm (note the date change from
our regular Monday meetings). Yes, this is right after Thanksgiving and a
turkey coma may be upon us, but it is also an important evening…. Election night!
All of our executive positions will be voted on. If you are
interested in filling one of the positions, please attend and put your name
forward… NO experience is necessary. If you can’t attend, please send us an
e-mail at ROSchoolCouncil@gmail.com
and we would be happy to put your name forward. Our council positions include Chair, Vice-Chair
(or two Vice-Chairs), Secretary, Treasurer, Appreciation Director, Community
Spirit Director, Fun Lunch Coordinator, Volunteer Coordinator and Key
Communicator.
If you don’t want to be on the executive, please still come
and help vote in whom you feel would best represent our children at School
Council. And as always, you don’t need to be on the executive to attend our
meetings or to volunteer on committees. Everyone is welcome and we sure enjoyed
seeing and hearing from so many of you at our September meeting!
Halloween Dance
It is time to get your BOO on! Our annual Halloween Dance
will be held on Friday, October 25th.
Last year’s dance was a huge success and was very well attended. This year we
will follow a similar format in having two separate time slots for the dance so
as many of you can attend as possible.
Notices and more information will be going home with your
children shortly.
Fun Lunch
Dates and forms for our Fun Lunches this year will be sent
home soon. Stay tuned for more details.
Appreciation Committee Thank you
Thanks to Kim J. and all those that volunteered their time
and food to put on a potluck for our teachers during the parent-teacher
conferences.
Terry Fox Run
Although a little chilly, this year’s Terry Fox run was
another great success. Congratulations to the students for the laps they ran
and the money they raised for cancer research. Thank you to all the parent
volunteers that helped ensure the event ran smoothly!
