BREAKFAST BINS
Breakfast bins, which are located at the front of each classroom or on the teachers’ desks, are filled with snacks for students to take if you are hungry! Students are asked to please not touch all the items in the bin; just take the item you want without touching the others!  Thank you! 

LOLLIPOPS

Students are welcomed to go online to order their lollipops by the end of the school day on Wednesday. Lollipops will be delivered this Thursday.

LIBRARY NEWS
The Library has a new competition starting this week.  The Festive Fun Colouring Contest is open to all students who wish to submit their original drawings of anything that represents the word "festive".  This can be holidays, special occasions, a family reunion - anything you can think of that brings to mind a celebration. 
Pieces will be accepted until December 11 which gives entrants one month to win the gift prize and have their creations displayed before the holidays arrive.
If you have any questions, please see Ms. Demers at lunch time or after school.

LUNCH TIME
Before students are dismissed for lunch, please remove all items off your desks so they can be cleaned during the lunch break.
