Week
at a Glance – Nov 9
1. Thank you to our
incredible Choir for the amazing job they did in representing Wildwood School
at the Field of Crosses on Wednesday November 8. As always we are so proud of their mastery in
singing and meeting the Veterans and First Responders afterwards. Mrs. Michayluk and Mrs. Barnaby are to be
commended for the wonderful leadership they provided to the students and for an
outstanding performance.
2. An outstanding
performance was presented by the Grade five students today at the Remembrance
Day assembly. Thank you to the students
that shared their thoughts, poems, writing pieces and lovely voices to this
performance. It taught us all many
things about Remembrance Day and gave us a lot to think about! Thank you Ms. Hidalgo, Ms. Thompson and Ms.
Walker for all your hard work with the students to present a clear vision of
what Remembrance Day is. Well Done!!!

Back by popular demand, Wildwood
School Council is pleased to begin our Mixing Spoon fundraising campaign! The
Mixing Spoon is an Alberta based fundraising company providing brownie, soup, chili,
cookie and scone mixes. All products are created from fresh, natural
ingredients prepared in the traditional way. In addition, these products are
dry-mixes that do not require any refrigeration!
If all of the
above wasn’t exciting enough, Wildwood School receives a 40% profit from
every mix sold. The campaign will commence on November 9th for two
weeks. In order for our products to be ready for the holiday season, all
orders must be returned to the school by November 23rd. The order will be
submitted the night of November 23rd so unfortunately no late orders will be
accepted. Please have all cheques made out to “Wildwood School
Council”. Thank you as always for your continued support in making our
school a better place.
Family
Time
Have your child share the Remembrance Day
assembly that was performed today. What
did your child observe and what did they learn that they did not know
before? Maybe as a family you would like
to join Remembrance Day events in Calgary on Sunday November 11. Here is just one example of the many places
you can go. https://www.todocanada.ca/things-to-do-on-remembrance-day-in-calgary/
