ALPHA
Alpha will begin in January and will run for 9 weeks, once a week in the mornings from 7:00 to 8:25 am. A full breakfast is provided, menu includes pancakes and/or bacon and eggs! If you did not get a permission slip, and would like to sign up please see Mrs. Uhrich. We would like to have these back so we can finalize groups ASAP. We need to have confirmed numbers by the end of the year so we can advise our sponsors. It is very important that participants commit to attending all sessions (meaning: sessions are not pick and choose) unless there is a true excuse to miss one. Thank you to all who have already signed up!
The deadline for placing your order is Wednesday, December 20 at 8:00 p.m. Please pay at the same time you place your order by credit card online or by following the instructions for sending an email money transfer to the PSG (not to the school office).
Please contact me at tsturgeon@cisnd.ca if you need any help and thank you for supporting this PSG fundraiser.

ACHIEVEMENTS
SPANISH CLUB
This week the Spanish club hosted a Mexican Posada. Participants were treated to Christmas fruit punch, hot chocolate, and churros. They partook in the traditional singalong of the pilgrims (Mary and Joseph) searching for “posada” (an inn), and finally had a chance to take their energy out on a Piñata…except the Piñata broke on the first try…regardless, students were pleased to scavenge for all the goodies that came out of it! Feliz Navidad!
CHRISTMAS TRAIN
Last night the International Students along with Mrs. Mendez, Mr. Plaxton, Mrs. Koebel, and Mrs. Griffin headed over to Summerland to take in the Christmas Train. They had a visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus and received a bag of goodies. On the trip back they were treated to Christmas Carols by a group of Carolers strolling up and down the aisles! To end the evening we have a pizza dinner under the heater at the train station.
The 6th annual Turkey Drive was a huge success with the help of our friendly Mustang mascot, Immaculata students, , K96.3, and U15 Rink Academy hockey players helping to give back to the community by coming out and supporting the drive to raise money or turkeys to support the Okanagan Central Food Bank. This year we were able to donate over 250 turkeys to help those less fortunate. We would like to thank all the generous donors and community for their support.
Small School. Big Family.
