Reminder to Culture Club students to meet in the Home Ec room at lunch on Monday to prepare for Vaisakhi!
Attention all students: Please do not stand or swing on the yellow gates at the back parking lot or side of the school by the bus depot. This is causing damage to the gates and they are expensive to fix. If you do not listen when asked to stop, you will be in the office for breaks.
Rugby rugby rugby- there is a MANDATORY rugby meeting for all players playing in the games next week at nutrition break in Ms. Irving’s room 106
Attention students: A reminder that ALL STUDENTS must STAY OUTSIDE until the bell in the mornings. In addition to this, we have noticed that many of you try to sneak into the school while we are drumming on Thursday mornings. From now on, NO STUDENTS are allowed to enter by the front doors while we are drumming. You may get toast by the door by the basketball court as usual, and exit by that door.
Also, we have noticed a lot of strong scents in the school lately that are likely perfumes, colognes or body sprays. No one is allowed to wear these TO SCHOOL or apply them at school. Please leave these scents at home, as some people in our building are very allergic.
In case you are unaware of what the Kids Run is, Colquitz has been involved in helping the Kids Run event, held on May 4 this year, to raise money for helping kids on Vancouver Island who are battling cancer. The money raised by Colquitz goes to help train hospital staff, buy furniture for the pediatric oncology ward and helps to pay for travel over to Vancouver Children’s hospital. Show your support by taking part in the fundraisers and by registering for the 1km and 5 km walk/run or by seeing either Ms Schuring or Mrs. C about volunteering in the Kids Zone May 4th.
Candy bags are on sale today in the foyer for $2. Help support the Kids Run and get a sweet treat too!
