Good afternoon caregivers of Arnold H. McLeod School,

This is the weekly voicemail message for Friday September 15^th:

Thank you to everyone who took the time to come to our Meet the Teacher event yesterday.  It was wonderful to have everyone back in the building.

Please check your child’s backpack for a bright pink Becca Told Me To sheet.  As our service project for the month of September, we are encouraging our students to complete a good deed for someone and then record it on the sheet.  All of the sheets that are returned to the school will go in a special display in our hallways.

We would kindly ask all caregivers who wish to walk their students to the playground to use the sidewalk and crosswalk near the Kindergarten playground.  Please park on Story Road East.  There are many staff trying to park and bussing exiting the driveway. There is no parent parking on school property during school hours.

This week students learned all about Terry Fox to gear up for our Terry Fox Walk which will take place September 21^st. Students can purchase tickets for $1.00 each for a chance to win a Terry Fox t-shirt. All money raised goes to the Terry Fox Foundation. The draw will be on the day of our walk.   If students would prefer to buy a shirt, they may do so.  Order forms went home last week and are due back by Friday September 28^th. You can check out this year’s t-shirt design online at terryfox.org.

Please note that there will be no school on Friday September 22^nd due to staff professional learning.

Just a reminder that Friday September 29^th is picture day.

We will be honoring the national day for Truth and Reconciliation on Thursday September 28^th by wearing orange.

That’s all for this week.  Thanks for listening and have a great weekend.
