Notes From the Office
Welcome Back BBQ: Our first Family Night of the year is September 13th. It is our annual Welcome Back BBQ. Please see the attached graphic and watch your child’s backpacks for our RSVP form. Please take the time to fill out the form by September 8th so we can have enough food for everyone!
Popcorn Day: The first Popcorn Day of the year will be September 8th. This day will be sponsored by FRESHCO and the Fundraising Association so that there is no cost to students.
No forms will go home. We will just require the numbers of students wanting popcorn. Please let your students' teacher know if you would like to place a free popcorn order. We do require volunteers! Volunteers can sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080B44AEAB2CABFC1-popcorn3#/. Last year the CGSFA raised around $7000 for our school through Popcorn Day sales.
Online Store: Our online store is up and running for the year. Check out https://christinagordon.entripyshops.com/ to order school clothing. There is a wide variety of styles, logos and colours to choose from!
Terry Fox Walk: Our whole school Terry Fox walk/run will take place September 22nd. Similar to last year we are promoting the slogan of "A Toonie for Terry". Students can give more if they wish or less if they are unable of course! Our goal this year is $2,300. Let's reach for $2300 in 2023! Our donation page can be found here: https://schools.terryfox.ca/30651. It will be open for donations until September 23rd.
School Council Chair: We are once again seeking some committed parents to be a part of our School Council. The School Council is an extremely important advisory group that we count on as a school to help us create the best learning environment for your child. It is essential that we maintain it. We will be looking for a new Chair at this time as well as some other executive members. The time commitment for each of these roles is possibly 2-3 hours per month, including the monthly meeting of the School Council. If you are willing to help us out by assuming the Chair or putting your name forward for any other vacant positions, please contact Mr. Thorne (richard.thorne@fmpsd.ab.ca). Our next School Council meeting is September 21st at 7:00 pm.
