January 18

Here is an update from Ms Schlappner about the rules around throwing snowballs.

As we established yesterday, you may only throw snowballs AT ANY TIME within the snowball area indicated by orange cones on the back / library field. Only go into this area if you’re prepared to get snowballs thrown at you. If you participate, and change your mind, you should leave the area entirely.  Simply stepping outside the area or staying in the area can be confusing to others, so make it clear you’re not wanting to participate anymore by going somewhere else.  As we said yesterday, if you are being unsafe in any way, you will be asked to leave the area. If you feel frustrated about something that happened, please see a supervisor right away.

 Thank you for playing as safely as possible.

Lead the Change is collecting items for our Survival Socks initiative. We will be stuffing warm socks with toiletry and other small items and delivering the socks to people in need. Don’t worry if you don’t know what to bring, there’s a list in all the classrooms of items that are needed most to build the survival socks. We will be collecting donations until January 30th. Thank you for helping us help our community! 

The Colquitz Rainbow Club will meet today at lunch in the Library for our first meeting of the new year
