Sept 24
1) Field Trip forms went home today. Please return them as soon as possible. Information regarding volunteering has been sent out in an email to those who have volunteer clearance.
As a parent volunteer, the CBE requires a police clearance; if you do not have this document, we regret that you will not be able to come at this time. If you would like to volunteer in the future, please visit the office with your photo identification and ask for a volunteer clearance form.
2) Fall art: On Thursday Sept 27th, students will be creating a composition of leaf rubbings. We will be asking students to bring in a variety of fallen leaves that they can use to create their rubbings.
3) Orange Shirt day: Royal Oak Students are invited to wear an orange shirt on Friday, September 28th in recognition of Orange Shirt Day.
“Orange Shirt Day is also an opportunity for First Nations, local governments, schools and communities to come together in the spirit of reconciliation and hope for generations of children to come.”
To learn more about why we are wearing an orange shirt, we have provided a link that explains Phyllis’ story below:
