Happy 2012! I hope it has been a great start for you all. The holidays were wonderful and hope yours were full of good food and relaxation. Today was a shock to the system for all of us I think!!! The students were troopers. I had a busy day planned and we got through everything! Nice work!

Thursday is Library day as usual. Hopefully all books have already been returned prior to the holidays. If you happen to have a library book at home please send it back ASAP.
In your child's agenda today there will be a note about the Cheesecake Cafe reading program. This is totally up to you as a parent if you would like your child to participate or not. Just use the home reading books that are sent home each night to count towards filling in a piece of the cake. If your child is reading a chapter book, every chapter or 2 (depending on length) will count towards a coloured piece. When the whole cake is coloured and initialed by a parent send it back in and I will award your child with a gift certificate.
Next week our school will begin "Clay for Kids". This is an art residency that our school was granted money for. We are VERY excited for this program. The end result will be a HUGE mural that will be in the entryway of our school. The mural will represnet Lethbridge. The students will have 2 sessions with the clay. One will be to create their clay tile. The second session will be to paint the tiles once they have been cured. I am in need of 4 parent volunteers on January 19th to help with this first session. If you are interested please let me know. The time is from 11:00- 11:45.
If you are still in need of a volunteer for the 19th, I would be happy to help.
