Notes From the Office
CGSF Popcorn Days: We are gearing up for another successful fundraising year with Popcorn Fri-yays. Popcorn is $2.00, and we aim to have popcorn delivered to classrooms before 10:30 am on Friday. Last year popcorn days provided approximately $7 000 to our Fundraising Association. As our student population continues to grow, we know the support is needed more now than ever. We are working with our Hot Lunch ordering platform to hopefully have popcorn orders streamlined through that, for families who wish to do so. If you have any questions: please email Barb (cgsfundraising@gmail.com).
Special Days Magnets/Buttons: The Inclusion Advisory Committee has Special Days magnetic calendars for sale! They have all the division dates on them as well as some special days that the Inclusion Advisory Committee would like to acknowledge. They are $5 each and can be purchased through Mrs. Power. The Inclusion Advisory Committe also has a limited supply of packages containing 7 buttons and 5 ribbons that can be worn on these special occasions. The button and ribbon packages are $10 each and can be purchased by sending and email to karla.power@fmpsd.ab.ca to pre-order.
Hot Lunches: Ordering will be open from the 1st to the 20th of each month to order for the following month. Please note that there is no hot lunch ordering for ECDP or Kindergarten students. To open your 2023/24 hot lunch account (the system does not retain information from the previous year), follow the detailed instructions provided in the attached graphic (Digital Take Home Folder). When you log in, you may notice a new button to volunteer for hot lunch. Please consider volunteering to help sort and organize hot lunches from 11:30 am-12:30 pm. If you have any questions you can contact our hot lunch team at: cgshotlunch@outlook.com.
CG News (September): Our school newsletter for September was released last week (Digital Take Home Folder). Translations in Arabic and Urdu are available. You can also view the CG News online at: https://christinagordon.fmpsdschools.ca/about/school-newsletters.
