St. Patrick's Blog Jan. 23 - 27

Bake Sale for CHEO
Our ME to WE students, under the leadership of teacher Catherine Carnegie, held a bake sale a few weeks ago for CHEO. Below is a photo of the group with the cheque to be presented. We are very proud of our students who take time out of their busy schedules in order to support organizations in our community.
Hot Chocolate Fundraiser
Ms. Gauthier and Ms. Lemieux, two uOttawa teaching candidates doing their practicum here at SPI, are in charge of our Environment Club. This past Wednesday they, with their students, sold hot chocolate in the cafeteria. The catch, though, was that students had to bring in their own mug in order to raise environmental awareness. The sale was a great success, especially given the fact that it wasn't very cold outside on the day the hot chocolate was sold!

Reminder re: After-School Activities
Please remember that once an after-school activity is complete, for example Homework Club, sports, Art Club, etc., students are no longer supervised and must, for safety reasons, leave the school building either to walk home, catch the OC Transpo bus, or wait on a ride. Your co-operation in reminding your son/daughter of this is greatly appreciated.

Dress-Down Day for Charity
A reminder that this coming Friday (Jan. 27) is a dress-down day for charity.

PD Day
A reminder also that Monday, Jan. 30 is a Professional Development Day in all OCSB schools. There will be no school for students on this day.
