A big thank you to families who have been dressing their children warmly for the weather. We are hoping for a rise in the temperature so we can get back to playing outside!
Thank you to our lunchroom staff for another informative and colourful bulletin board. This month’s new board has simple recipes that students can take and try at home!
Our Grade 2/3 students are enjoying the opportunity to join Ms. Bourne and Ms. Nguyen one lunch a week for cardio fit club. What a great way to stay warm and get fit!
New Gate
We are thrilled to have a new gate by the Division 1 door by the playground. The gate will remain closed during the school day as an extra step in keeping our students safe from being able to access the street. The gate will never be locked so parents can still come through to drop off and pick up their children. Thanks to our CBE Facilities team for making this happen!
Mark Your Calendars - Family Literacy/Numeracy Night
We are so excited to invite you to our annual Family Literacy/Numeracy Night on Thursday, February 27 from 5:30 – 7:00pm. Our theme is SPACE! Teachers set up stations with activities you can do at home. If you wonder what your children can do at home besides be on a device, come and get some ideas! This year we will have a draw for two scooters and helmets – one for K-2 and one for Grade 3-6. Thank you to parent council for providing these wonderful prizes!
Casino – May 31/June 1
The Parents of Annie Foote Fund Raising Society is excited to share that we have been granted another casino event at ACE CASINO AIRPORT (40 Aero Crescent NE) on SATURDAY, MAY 31 and SUNDAY, JUNE 1. We are eligible for an event like this every eighteen to twenty four months. The funds raised from events like this is what enables us to provide students with field trips, in class speakers, new technology, school resources, and more, at little or no cost to families.
This is where you come in – WE NEED VOLUNTEERS! You do not need to have prior experience or have police clearance. Volunteering at a casino can be a lot of fun. You’ll get a free meal (the food at this casino has been amazing in the past), and it’s a great way to meet other people from the Annie Foote School Community. We would love to see some new faces this year!
Information on the various positions will be available on the Annie Foote School website. Shifts each day will run from 11am-7pm, 6:30pm-3:30am, and 11pm-3:30am (this shift is only for the Count Room). We need nineteen volunteers (plus backups) each day. Please reach out to Leslie at afsparentcouncil@gmail.com if you are interested in volunteering!
