Parent Conferences:
See you all next Thursday and Friday! Please remember you will have 15 minutes to conference with me, and then 15 minutes to walk around and engage with your child's work and stations. There will be another family in at the same time, and they you switch.

GLENBOW MUSEUM
Field trip forms for the Glenbow museum will be coming home this Monday. I would ideally like to have 3 parents volunteers. Please let me know if you're interested (and have CBE Volunteer Clearance).


Stephen’s Backpack: Dream Out Loud
Royal Oak Students are continuing to support Stephen’s Backpacks Society for Children in Need this holiday season. Stephen’s Backpacks Society for Children in Need is an organization that was started in Airdrie by a young boy who thought it wasn’t fair that he received so much for Christmas when other children didn’t even have a bed to sleep in.
In the near future, Stephen’s Mom will be joining us for a special assembly. All parents are invited to attend. Please stay tuned for that date!
The backpacks this year are for children who range in age from infant to grade 3. We are looking for donations of new items that can go inside a backpack. Our goal is to fill 100 backpacks.
What could go in a backpack?
Child Backpack (4-9 years old):
·      Waterproof gloves/mittens, toque, scarf, blanket, socks
·      Book or colouring book, appropriate school supplies
·      Age appropriate toy (train, action figure, etc.)
·      Hygiene kit- (includes shampoo, conditioner, soap, toothbrush, and toothpaste)
·      Candy or candy bag
·      Clothing items, shoes/boots
Baby Backpack:
·      Waterproof gloves/mittens, toque, scarf, blanket, socks, toy, teething ring
·      Baby formula, bottle
·      Baby wipes, diapers, baby soap, baby shampoo, baby lotion
·      Clothing items
These items can be brought to school by your child and they will be placed under the tree in the gathering space. We will be accepting donations until Monday, December 10th, 2018. Thanking you in advance for your generosity.
