This week should be an interesting week - a full moon tonight, fun activities for the kids all week and Halloween this weekend! All sorts of energy in the air!

Monday: Miss Titus' grade 5 students are making their way to Planeview Manor today to Adopt a Grandparent. This is an exciting opportunity for the students and for the residents of Planeview. Have fun, guys!

Tuesday: Mrs. Sparkes' Crochet Club is a hit with the students! Meetings are usually on Tuesdays and/or Thursdays and she has created a blog to keep her club members informed - http://wpscrochetclub.blogspot.ca/. You can find this link on our school webpage under the 'Students' drop down menu.

Also, just a reminder that tonight is our pilot family night - Family Pumpkin Carving Night. Willow Park Staff is looking for fun ways to get to know the students AND their families on a more personal level. Bring your pumpkins, tools, and snacks to the gym this evening from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm. We look forward to seeing your family there!

Thursday: Mrs. Chapman's class has been working very hard on their Haunted House in their portable. Today is their chance to showcase the finished product to all the other classes. Parents are welcome to come check it out as well, but be sure to check in at the office first.

Friday: Please check out your child's teacher's blog to find out what kind of Halloween activities are going on in their classroom.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Weekly Update Oct. 5-9, 2015

Fall has definitely arrived! The leaves have all changed colors and the temperature has dropped. The mornings are chilly so please make sure your child is wearing the appropriate outerwear - a tuque and mittens wouldn't be a bad idea, even if just for the morning.

For the next week and a bit we will be accepting Food Bank Donations. There is a donation box in the front entrance boot room and also one in the foyer of the school.

Monday: Today is Pajama Day! The grade 3 students will be writing their Digital SLAs this morning from 9:30-11 am. Also, today and tomorrow the grades 1-4 students will be taking part in Bus Safety presentations.

Tuesday: Today is the second half of the Bus Safety presentations.

Wednesday: Very important reminder for parents! There are NO KINDERGARTEN CLASSES today and for the rest of the students it is EARLY DISMISSAL. The students will be dismissed at 2:15 pm today.

Thursday & Friday: Business as usual.

If there are any parents or visitors of the school that have lost vehicle keys, we have acquired 3 sets. Two of the sets have fobs, which we know are expensive, and one set has just a key. The sets have keys to a Dodge vehicle, a Chrysler vehicle, and a Ford.

Have a great week, everyone!
