Field TrIp, Terry Fox, & Orange Shirt Day

Orange Shirt Day is Monday September 30. Across the CBE and Canada, people will wear orange to remember the painful legacy of residential schools. It also reminds us of the strength it takes to overcome. Join us by wearing any orange you have!

Terry Fox Run is Friday September 27. Please come dress to run/walk. Also, we will be collecting money to donate to Terry Fox for cancer research. Last year we passed our goal, raising over $1500! This year, our school goal is $1600. Please bring your donations and toonies for Terry!

Grade 3/4 is going to the dump! We will be learning what the City of Calgary does with our waste, recycling, and composting. We are scheduled to go on Wednesday October 9. Permission notices will be sent home as soon as we are able to. We are in need of parent volunteers! If you have your police clearance, and are free to join us, please send a note, or email Mr. Duncan or Ms. Hansen to let us know! Thank you in advance :)

Links to online learning websites

Hi everyone, Below is a list of websites families can use at home for extra practice on core subject areas. Please have a look and see which websites work best for you. Until the CBE determines how we will proceed, it is important for students to be reading, writing, and practicing basic math skills. Try to spend some time each day working on each three. Please keep checking the blog and email. As soon as there is more information for families, the CBE and/or Taradale School will let families know. I will follow up with blog posts passing along any pertinent information. Please stay safe, everyone.

Please make sure you are signing the forms that are 5 sides long. Also, please bring $7 for our field trip. Monday is Orange Shirt Day - please wear orange or your favourite shirt. We mark this day each year in order to remember the survivors of residential schools. Our assembly is on Tuesday October 1 at 1:30 pm. Your writing prompt for this weekend is: Why do we have Orange Shirt Day? Do you think it's important? How does it make you feel?

Field Trip Notes and Reminders

Reminders for Thursday's field trip Students Please arrive at the normal time. The bus will depart at 9:00am, so we'd like to be ready well before that. It will take some time to get everyone's skates on when we get there, so if we can get going earlier, that would be great. Students should have: Winter jacket; Snow pants (or a spare pair of pants to change into after skating); Thick gloves (to keep hands warm and dry, and also to protect hands while on the ice); Backpack (big enough to hold lunch, snack, water, jacket, snow pants and gloves); Lunch (nothing that requires heating); Snack; and  Water bottle. We recommend layering. Hoodies and sweatshirts are great options for under jackets. Students who have their own skates CAN bring them if they choose. Please make sure their name is written clearly on their skate. Please DO NOT bring your own helmet. WinSport has strict guidelines as to what type of helmets can be worn, so it's easier for everyon...
