'Tis the Season To Be Reading!
CONNECT 4 TOURNAMENT
The matches are almost finished! We are now into quarter-finals and semi-finals. Opponents' matches are now best of 3. We should know who our winners are by the end of this week. I will update this month's newsletter as soon as the tournament is finished! You can check back here next week.
FOOD DRIVE IN THE LEARNING COMMONS
This is a difficult time of year for many families. Having our students participate in helping those less fortunate is a great opportunity for our students to practice good citizenship and generosity. Back by popular demand, is another Bingo in the Learning Commons! Students may bring in 2 cans or $3.00/ bingo card for an opportunity to win treat bags and a choice of a book from prize shelf! Please note, these donations are separate from the donations made to the classrooms.
ATTENTION: STUDENT AUTHORS!
Interested in having your student work published for other Stitó:s students and families to read? Consider filling out an applicaton form and submitting a good copy of your work! Application forms available in Learning Commons or request one in an email.
PAGES & TREATS, Our Middle School Book Club
This year we are spotlighting different favourite middle school authors. Read a book by Jennifer A. Nielsen before the meeting and then be sure to sign up on the Monday or Tuesday before the meeting. For December, we will have hot chocolate, donuts and treats! Meetings will usually happen on the last Wednesday of the month, during the outside time.
READING LINK CHALLENGE FOR GRADES 4 + 5!
Grade 4 and 5 students have an opportunity to join a Reading Club that is sponsored by our public libraries! Six titles were just announced on Nov. 1st! Students will be put in to teams of a maximum of 6. They read all or many of the titles and prepare for a trivia like competition where they will compete first at a school level, then at a district and even possibly at a Lower Mainland event.
