Jump Rope for Heart

Our school’s Jump Rope for Heart Day is on:

 

Friday February 17th, 2012

 

In Heart&Stroke Jump Rope for Heart, students participate in fun skipping and jumping challenges. Leading up to event day, kids are encouraged to raise funds (pledges) and in return earn thank you prizes for their individual fundraising efforts. Each student is given a collection envelope they can use to raise pledges from family, friends, and neighbours. For safety reasons, we suggest students do NOT go door-to-door.  

 

Did you know that more than 8 out of 10 Canadian children between the ages of 5 and 17 aren’t active enough to support optimal health and development, putting our children at serious risk for heart disease at a young age – but it doesn’t have to be this way.

Let’s work together to make a difference.

 

Support your child’s fundraising efforts. You can donate at the $15, $30 or even $50 level to get your child started. Students can also fundraise online at JumpRopeForHeart.ca! Sponsors donating online will receive an automatic tax receipt.

 

Students are asked to collect their pledges in the envelope provided. Collection envelopes and all pledges must be returned to the school by Friday February 17th, 2012 . Please mark your child‘s envelope to show which Student Thank You Prize they have earned. Please return the collection envelope, even if no pledges are received. Cheques should be made out to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

 

Once the pledges are received from all students, we will place the order for your prizes. From the date the order is placed, it takes approximately 6-8 weeks to receive the prizes.

 

Again, thank you so much for your support! Heart&Stroke Jump Rope for Heart benefits us all – your child gets active and learns to be heart healthy, our school can earn valuable resources, and we all help to support vital heart disease and stroke research and health education – for the future of our children! If you have any comments or questions, please call the school for more information or visit www.jumpropeforheart.ca

Traffic Around the School

Dear Parents,

We have had a number of neighbours complain about the parking situation in the back of our school – Kelmsley and Harrison

While it is not pleasant for me to have to deal with a yelling neighbour, he had some valid points:

1 - PLEASE abide by the SPEED LIMITS

 

Schools and playgrounds

(1) A person driving a vehicle on a regular school day and on a highway where signs are displayed stating a speed limit of 30 km/h, or on which the numerals "30" are prominently shown, must drive at a rate of speed not exceeding 30 km/h while approaching or passing the school building and school grounds to which the signs relate, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., or subject to subsection (1.1), between any extended times that are stated on the signs.

(1.1) Extended hours under subsection (1) may not begin later than 8 a.m. or end earlier than 5 p.m.

The description adjacent to the applicable sign in Division 23 of the Motor Vehicle Act Regulation 26/58 is also being amended to provide for extended hours of operation.

 

 

 

 

 


 

2 - ILLEGAL PARKING - please ONLY PARK - where there is designated space i.e. NOT in the bus zone or very close to the end of corner - you must be 3 meters from the corner. Park along our grassy field.

3 -  PLEASE be respectful of the neighbors.

I thank-you for your help in this matter!

Snow Day Procedure

Snow Day Procedure

  1. MLA may call a snow day based on CONDITIONS AROUND THE SCHOOLS. These will not necessarily be the same as conditions at the students' homes; we draw from a wide area with many micro-climates.
  2. Please listen to CKNW or News1130 or Global TV for information... or check their websites.
  3. Please check our website for information. If a snow day has been called, that information will appear on the upper right of each page starting about 6AM.
  4. You may call in to school voicemail, however, please hang up before the beep so as not to block incoming callers and fill up the voice mail box.
  5. If we do not call a snow day - and you are uncomfortable driving in the snow - then you are welcome to stay home for the day.
  6. Please remember - we have MORE snow around the schools due to the fact that we are on a plateau.
  7. We have only had 4 snow days in 7 years... so we do not cancel school lightly... but out of concern for staff and student SAFETY.
