We Have Grounds to Celebrate!
Thank you to all who came out for the FALL CLEANUP! Our school
grounds are in great shape once more and certainly something to
celebrate. We can also celebrate the communal effort shown by students,
parents, and staff who came out to dig, sweep, pull weeds, and clean out
the mechanical room. We are ready for winter!
For Building and Grounds Committee,
Mr. Edgar Veldman and Mrs. Ella Ringma

Encounters with Canada:
Thoughts by Grade 11/12 students
Overall the week of Science and Ecology was more than I ever thought
possible. I came with the mindset that it would be nothing, just another
trip. I came away thinking I never wanted to leave. I’d explain it like a
rollercoaster; slow to start, but once it was going I didn’t want it to end,
finally you get off and you can’t help but think how awesome it was.
I had a blast. There are simply no words to describe the kind of
experience that Encounters with Canada was for me, so keep in mind
that the following words will never live up to even an idea of the week
in Ottawa. In a vain attempt to sum up the week in meager words, I say
that Encounters was an unbelievably amazing experience. Not only did
it surpass any expectations I had but it also left a permanent impression
on me and who I am. I know that I will never be the same again.
Poinsettia Sales!
The High School band is now selling Poinsettias as well as other
Christmas ornaments as a band fundraiser just until October 9!! Orders
can also be placed in the front office. Poinsettias will be delivered in the
first week of December.

Can you Plan a Party?
Did you know that our school got its name from the fact that our first
year of existence was 1967, Canada's centennial year? That means
that next year, the 2016/2017 school year, will be our 50th year in
existence!
Will you help us plan and/or execute our Golden Jubilee Celebration?
We need all the head, hearts and hands we can get. There will be big
jobs and small jobs, jobs you can do with your kids and jobs you can
complete in blissful solitude. So all you planners, doers and followthroughers out there, please leave your name with Charlene in the
office so we can get a committee going. You may specify if you would
prefer being a planner or only having a small role in the execution.
Mrs. Estelle Lombard, From the School Board
Pie Day Help – October 16/17
Pie Day is one of the Hearts & Hands biggest fundraising events and we
need all hands on deck to make the 1000 apple pies that our ambitious
students have sold!
Parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, neighbors and friends are asked to
come and help out for a few hours. We especially need
help throughout the school day, starting at 10 am. While the students are
peeling and chopping the apples, we need adult volunteers to be quality
control, checking the apples at each of the tables. The peeling, chopping
and assembling of pies continues after school until 8 pm and Saturday
from 9-12 am so there is ample opportunity to come help out!

Head Lice
We have had a couple cases of head lice reported in the school. Please
check your child’s head for lice or nits. If you do find that your child has
lice or nits in their hair, please start treatment immediately (this
includes picking out any nits) and keep them home until one treatment
is complete. After treatment your child is welcome at school and please
be sure hair is pulled tight to avoid any missed nits or lice being passed.
If you need any more information on treatment for lice, we have
handouts in the office or please click on this Health Link.

Time to be announced.

Shoreline Cleanup
Our grade 4-7's participated in The Great Canadian Shoreline Clean Up
on Tuesday and picked up garbage on all of Ferry Island and then
enjoyed some hot dogs over the campfire. Here are a couple quick
snapshots we took. So proud of our Earth-Keepers and thankful for our
parent volunteers who came to help!

Parking Lot
As the start of a new school year it is good to remind each other of safe
parking lot practices. Please help us keep the parking spot for disabled
people open by not stopping in that spot. Also please avoid dropping your
children off at the front steps of the school. Thank you for your
cooperation.
Mr. Edgar Veldman, Principal
Old Jeans Anyone?
The 8/9 class is looking for donations of old jeans for a project in Applied
Skills. If you have any jeans that you no longer use, any size, shape or
style, we love to have them. Please drop your donations off in the office
for Mrs. Ringma. Thank you!
