Dear Eagle View Families,
Where has the time gone… we have already completed two months of the school year! We had some really great weather in October but November is here and the rain is starting to fall. Students go outside for play rain or shine unless it is unsafe for them to be out there. Often students can come in wet/muddy and need a change of clothes. If you have not yet done so, please send a change of clothes for those times when the muddy buddies are just not enough.
Cross Country wrapped up last week with the final meet up at UVIC. Way to go runners. We would like to extend a HUGE “Thank You” to Mrs. Jardim and Mrs. Castellanos for sponsoring, coaching and organizing the runners. Our Grade 4/5 soccer team had their jamboree this past Tuesday. We would also like to extend a HUGE “Thank You” to Mrs. Hammonds, Mr. Crawford and Mr. Gibson for coaching the team this year. Congratulations to all our athletes!
Thank you to our fantastic PAC for organizing the Halloween Family Dance/Event. We want to thank you for providing our students and families with fun events throughout the year. Last week brought us “Black and Orange Day” activities. All students had the opportunity to visit different classrooms and participate in a variety of Halloween crafts and games while connecting them with other teachers and places in our school. A wonderfully busy October!
Our Remembrance Day Assembly is on Tuesday, November 10 and parents are welcome to attend. If your child belongs to Guides/Scouts/Brownies/Cubs/Cadets, they are invited to wear their uniform that day. Just a reminder that classes are not in session on November 11th to observe Remembrance Day and November 27th, our last Pro d Day this term.
We look forward to starting ‘Everyday Reading Club’ this month. As we continue to work on our school goal of improving our reading and writing skills, please remember to go to the public library and take out books, write an aunt, uncle, relative or friend and drop it in a mailbox. Imagine the JOY of receiving real, tangible mail and the anticipation of a reply. Thanks for partnering together with us and helping us work towards being more successful readers and writers.
We wish you all a great weekend and please take some time to remember the good things in life, memories from the past and look forward with hope of good things to come.
