REMEMBRANCE DAY PICTURES, PLEASE
Every year at our Remembrance Day assembly, we present a video entitled "Sturgeon Heights Remembers". This is a compilation of students/staff holding pictures of their family members who served or presently serve in our Canadian military. Where possible, we like to have photos that show that family member in service or in their service uniform. We update this video every 3-4 years as children grow and some move on from our school.
As this is an update year, we will create a new video and are putting out a call for photos. Please send them as follows:
Digitally sent through email to nholmes@sturgeon.ab.ca by Friday, October 23rd (you can take a picture of the picture if you don't have a way to scan but please remove from frame first to avoid glare if possible).
Please include the name of the children who you would like to be in the picture with that relative (first and last name and what class they are in such as 4H). These names will not appear in the video, it is just the best way for Mrs. Holmes to "round up" the students for the photos.
These pictures will be in a slideshow that is shown in front of the full school and families who attend. It is not placed on social media or in any other public format.
4. We are not reusing photos from videos in the past so all students participating will need photos used in previous videos to be resent same as new families participating.
If you have any other questions, please email Mrs. Holmes at nholmes@sturgeon.ab.ca. Please note that submissions after Friday, October 23rd will only appear by themselves (not being held by the children in the school) due to time restraints in putting together the video. We will not be able to include photos send after October 30th.
Thank you,

PARKING LOT!
This is mentioned below in "Reminders"; however, an extra reminder that the school parking lot is one way at all times.
Special attention needs to be taken to going very slowly (10 - 20 km/h)
and watching carefully as there are children coming and going between vehicles.
EXTRA CLOTHES?
If you have any extra socks or leggings at home and have no use for them, we could sure use them for our "extra" clothing supply. Very often someone gets wet outside and we need a quick change of clothes.
It's also a great idea if students have a change of clothes with them, in backpack or locker - just in case!
HOT LUNCH!
Subway was good this week, as always...
Thanks to the Hot Lunch Crew who went over and above by delivering Subway orders to the Volleyball tournament!! Wow!
Looking forward to Booster Juice on Wednesday.
