ASSEMBLY

We were so fortunate to have Constable Lackie join us for our Assembly on Friday! Throughout October we have been celebrating our Front Line Workers and Constable Lackie talked to our students about his job and what the RCMP does in Devon.

We were also very thrilled to have Mr. Schnell pop in to join us for a few minutes at our assembly as well. What a fabulous Friday!

Congratulations Prize Winners!

We continue to be fortunate to hand out prizes at our assemblies! Most prizes have been donated or we are lucky enough to have earned them through reward points! You can see this week’s lucky recipients below. CONGRATULATIONS!!

October 15 Assembly Agenda

Celebrating Our Heroes

UPDATE: We have collected almost 100 gift cards to date. Thank you to all of those who have already sent some in. We look forward to receiving more over the next week and a half to reach our goal of filling 500 handmade cards with a $5 Tim’s card!

We are so excited about a new project that we are working on this month that incorporates Thanksgiving and Halloween! Thanksgiving because we are so GRATEFUL and Halloween as we want to GIVE TREATS instead of focusing on getting treats. Throughout this pandemic, we have all appreciated and are so thankful for our Front Line Workers. This month, we want to focus on our nurses and highlight them as the HEROES that they are! Our staff has decided to dress up this Halloween as nurses and we are encouraging our students to join us in honoring their heroes when we dress up on Friday, October 29. If they already have their costumes picked out, no problem!

To show our appreciation the students and staff are making handmade cards for our heroes that will be shared with medical personnel in our community and neighbouring communities. We have chosen 4 local hospitals to share our love with. We would like to include a $5 gift card to Tim Hortons in each handmade card. If you would like to join us in saying thank you to these heroes, please purchase a $5 Tim Hortons gift card and send it in with your child. Our goal is to GIVE TREATS this Halloween and honour about 500 medical HEROES. The deadline to send gift cards in will be Wednesday, October 27 as we would like to have time to get these put into the cards and delivered by Halloween. We appreciate your support in this community project and helping us teach our students how to make a difference. An act of kindness, no matter how small, can make a positive impact in someone’s day!

We want to make sure no Robina Baker healthcare provider is left out! If you know of an RBES parent who doesn’t work in a hospital but is working in the medical community, please email us their name and we will ensure they receive a card and some love from us as well. You can email these names to: [email protected]

Fundraising Committee needs a President!

PLEASE HELP! We are currently looking for a Fundraising Committee President. This person essentially runs the meetings and keeps tabs on the various fundraising projects. You would have a great support team around you, many of who have been a part of the group for a few years. The Committee currently provides funding for Mathletics, Student Agendas, and Classroom Budgets. As well, a committee within the committee is dedicated to raising funds for our new playground. The Playground Committee reports to the Fundraising Committee, however, separate fundraising initiatives are set aside specifically for the playground.

If you or someone you know would be interested in working with our Fundraising Committee, please email: [email protected]
