PTO will be selling Candy Grams Mon.-Wed. during student lunches for $1 each.

Here's how it works:

• Buy a Candy Gram at the PTO table for a $1.
• Give them the first and last name of the student you would like it to be delivered to.
• They will be delivered to each student's 6th period class on Friday afternoon and given out by those teachers.

Thank you to those of you who already completed this!!!

As communicated last week, one of the main priorities at Selkirk, and across CVSD, is to help create a strong sense of belonging for all students, staff, and our community. We would love to know how we are doing with this. Please take a moment to complete our brief survey. Your feedback is greatly appreciated.
