And just like that; we are welcoming February! There is lots on the go this on go this month so please be sure to check out the important dates below.
February marks the beginning of Kindness Month at Robina Baker! Throughout the month there will be opportunities to show kindness in many ways!
I wanted to extend a big THANK YOU to all the students. Last Friday happened to be my birthday. I arrived at school and was given such kind pictures, cards, and greetings. It filled my heart and I was so appreciative of the kindness that was shown. Each day I see this kindness illuminate the hallways of our school. We are so lucky to get to come to school each day in such a wonderful environment where we can all thrive as learners.
During our assembly today we kicked off Jump Rope for Heart! As a school, we see the need to give back and learn about how to keep our bodies healthy. Students will participate in a “Jump Rope Day” on February 14th. As a school, we have set a goal of $500 which will go towards the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Please click the link if you are able to donate.
Next Wednesday is Winter Walk Day in Devon. The Town of Devon has been kind enough to donate hot chocolate to our school. We are looking for volunteers who are able to be at the school to prepare and serve hot chocolate for when students return to the school. If you are able to volunteer, please email the office. We would be very appreciative.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend ahead!

A Note About Pickups:
At the end of the school day, we respect that parents make a variety of plans for the safe transport of their children. Some students attend our Happy Kids Daycare or are picked up from a community daycare. Others will take the bus home. Some students walk. For the most part, especially for our younger students, parents will pick students up. To avoid any confusion, if there is a pickup that strays from the norm or you have a regular pickup that is not a parent, please communicate the plan to the classroom teacher and the office. When a parent is unable to pick a student up, we ask that you provide, in writing what the plan is. This avoids confusion or guessing for us and ultimately ensures that students get to their final destinations safely. Of course, when we just aren’t sure we might call to seek some clarity from parents. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!
