Mom's Pantry will be ready for pick up at 2:15p.m. in the Senior Hallway of the school today:) Thank you.

Our Scholastic Book Fair was a great success again this year! Our sales were $1140.00! Awesome! Thank-you to Aline, Deanna, and Janine who worked shifts, Marion Sanford for delivering some of our boxes, and to Richard and Dan Glas for hauling tables. Support from staff, students, parents, and community have made new literary resources possible every year. We appreciate the partnership with Frontier School. We wouldn’t be able to have Book Fairs without them. As a result, we will receive 60% of our net sales back in resources for our school!!! What a worthwhile project! Thank-you all! Mrs. Glas.

Started today:)

Good luck to our Val Marie / Mankota Sr. Girls Volleyball Team 😊🏐

Deadline for recipes is Monday, Nov. 5th. Please email Mrs. Glas at aglas@chinooksd.ca or Mrs. Gunter at jgunter@chinooksd.ca. You may also send me a picture or text your recipe. Proceeds from the recipe book go toward end-of-year field trips for all grades. Thanks in advance. Mrs. Glas

Our Scholastic Book Fair will be held Nov. 6 - 8 on the stage. Hours are 10 - 5 Tuesday and 10 - 7 Wednesday and Thursday. The theme this year is The Enchanted Forest. If you can volunteer for a shift during school hours Wed. or Thurs. please contact Mrs. Glas. Thank-you.

Thank-you to everyone for supporting us in our Terry Fox Nat’l School Run. Our Run was held Sept. 27 at Two Trees Trail in Grasslands Nat’l Park. Kira Hiltz of GNP greeted us and provided refreshments afterward. We gratefully appreciate GNP’s involvement in our annual Run. Our goal was to raise $1120.00. Thanks to generous donations we raised $1249.10! 82 cents of every dollar raised goes directly to cancer research. Gracie McCrea gathered the most paper and online pledges so will be choosing the ring tone for our school bells. Mrs. Clement made the draw for a t-shirt and Gracie won that too! Thanks again for helping our school reach its goal. Mrs. Glas “Even if I don’t finish, we need others to continue. It’s got to keep going without me.” Terry Fox

Thanks to all who participated in the Terry Fox Run today at Two Trees Trail in Grasslands National Park.

HAPPENING TODAY:) This Thursday, Sept. 27th, our school is again participating in the Terry Fox School Run for cancer research. This year our Run coincides with the National Run. We will be 1 of 8000 Canadian schools running for Hope in the name of Terry Fox. Our Run is taking place again at Two Trees Trail. The bus will be leaving the school at 12:45. The goal for Val Marie School this year is to raise $1,120.00. I challenge each student to raise $20.00 in pledges. We would ALMOST meet our goal if everyone did that. If students collect 5 donations on their pledge sheet, their name goes into a draw to win a bike! We also have t-shirts we can order. The shirts are gray and have Terry's likeness on the front and the word COURAGE on the back. Prices are $15 for sizes 6x and 10 and $20 for adults. Sales of shirts go toward meeting our goal. A draw for a t-shirt will be made from all those who have collected a pledge. As an added incentive, Mrs. Clement suggested that the student who collects the most pledges gets to set the ring tone for the school bells. Pledges are due back to Mrs. Glas on Monday, October 15th. Let's do our best to reach our goal this year. A quick and easy way to collect pledges is to use our school's online fundraising page. http://www.terryfox.ca/ValMarie Thank-you in advance for your co-operation. Mrs. Glas

Elevator Student Video Project Make sure you watch all 7 videos. Our students have captured some very interesting Insights into the preservation of the elevator in Val Marie. Well done!
