Definitely getting the touristy vibes from these two!

ANNOUNCEMENTS

COME OUT AND BUST A MOVE!

This year, Student Council is planning a bunch of great events. One of them is a Halloween Dance for the students on Friday October 27th from 6-10 pm in the school gym. They started selling tickets on Wednesday October 18th and so far tix sales are good -considering it's Kelowna. There will be music, games, concession and a costume contest. We hope everyone will dress up and join us.

Last chance to get your food items in. At last count, grade 11 was in the lead.

PARENT PARTICIPATION OPPORTUNITY

Student Council is planning to have a school dance on Oct 27. In order to have it, we need chaperones! This is a great opportunity for parents to fulfill their parent participation hours. Two shifts are available: 6-8pm or 8-10pm. For more information, or to volunteer, please call the office.

NEED A SECOND CHANCE?

Retakes are available if you closed your eyes, forgot to do your hair, or absolutely hated the way you smiled! Also for those who missed the first time around. Please bring a uniform shirt to change into for the picture as all yearbook pictures must be in uniform. You can change back to civvies once the picture is taken.

POINSETTIAS AND WREATHS

Our PSG will be selling poinsettias and wreaths again this year as a fundraiser. The link to “Growing Smiles” website will be open tomorrow and you can access it below. Please consider supporting this fundraiser as all the monies raised benefit our students entirely.

Link will be open tomorrow here.

YES, WE KNOW IT'S STILL OCTOBER...

Just putting it out there so you can save the date!

AND SPEAKING OF THE MARKET...

Calling all parent volunteers! Our annual Christmas craft fair will take place on Saturday, November 25 from 10-3. I am needing many volunteers, both on the Friday before (November 24) and on the Saturday event day. Duties may include decorating, parking lot attending, set up and take down, or simply helping direct people and vendors the day of. These hours count towards your parent participation hours that could result in money back in your pocket! There are also sign ups for bringing in baking for the bake sale table (YES! Putting in hours to bake items DOES count!)

Please click on the following web link (or copy it into your web browser if clicking doesn't work) to go to the signup sheet:

ACHIEVEMENTS

SPIRIT WEEK

We asked you to dress up and you delivered. What a bunch of great spirited students and staff!!! Some of our students even stayed in character while getting their daily coffee…”no, I wear tacky tourist clothing every day, why do you ask?” Whether Pretty in Pink (or “On Wednesday’s we wear pink"), tacky tourist, or western, all our Mustangs rocked it. Thank you for participating and making a short week extra fun!
