Concert Comfy Couch

On both evening Winter concerts, we will be running our Comfy Couch Contest for a student to win the best seats in the house. The winner’s family or any other guest can sit front row and centre. Students can enter by bringing in a food donation to the Leduc & District Food Bank, or by colouring one of our “Winter Concert” posters. The posters are available in the office.

Food Bank Drive

The Leduc Food Bank is a frequent donor to us and the school. They often supply snacks for our snack bins as well as sandwiches to students in need. This holiday season, the hockey team of one of our students is organizing a food drive! We have a large box set up in the foyer. Please, if you are able, feel free to bring in a donation. We’d love to have the box overflowing! If a student brings a donation they will also be entered into our annual Comfy Couch Draw for our Christmas Concert. We recognize that not everyone may be able to donate so we also have Raptor Colouring sheets in the office for students to pick up to colour should they wish to be entered into the draw.

Family Craft & Cookie Night

Please join us on Thursday, December 12 from 5:30 – 6:30 pm to decorate cookies & craft with your family!  The supplies will be provided – and we will have hot dogs available too!  There is no cost for this family fun night!

We need an RSVP so we know how many people will be attending:

Free Holiday Meal Boxes

We have been approached by a local business who is putting together meal boxes for the holiday season. The meal box comes with all the fixings you might need for the holiday season at no cost. If you think this might be something that might take some pressure off of your family this season, feel free to fill out this form. Mr. Coffin only has access to it and he will pass your name on. The boxes are limited so I will be in touch after receiving a response.

Library Corner

• Students have looked at the new books acquired through the Book Fair so far. They put some books on hold and next week the books will start circulating.  Thanks again!
• Students are allowed the following number of books:
  • Grades K and 1 – 1 book
  • Grades 2 and 3 – 2 books
  • Grade 4 – 3 books
• Please return the books a week later when it is your student’s library day. Books can be renewed!  Just have your child ask me to do that.
• Overdue notices – Please do not be concerned if you receive an overdue notice.  These are just reminders and you will not be charged any late fees.  Please email me, not your teacher, if you have any questions or concerns about library items.  [email protected]   
• Amazon Wishlist. We have a wishlist for the library!  If you would like to buy one of these books for the library, please don’t forget to have Amazon send us a gift note with your name on it.  I like to acknowledge the person who purchased the book.  Thanks!
