WEEKLY UPDATE: NOVEMBER 18, 2018
Such a fun and busy week!
What a wonderful week we had at Robina Baker Elementary School. We had PJ days, made bannock and dream catchers and had Mission Impossible in the gym! We are more than half way through November and we are practicing our hearts out for our Christmas concerts that are just around the corner!
ASSEMBLY - NOVEMBER THEME : NUTRITION
This week we started our Nutrition Theme. The students were focused on making a balanced meal plan. You can see more details about our assembly by having a look at this week's agenda on this link or below.

CHRISTMAS ELVES!
We are kicking off our Annual Food Drive for the Devon Christmas Elves!
The Grade 3 classes, as part of their Global Citizenship unit in Social Studies, will be organizing the Christmas Elves food drive - doing the collection, delivery and sorting of the food that is donated. The food needs to be delivered to the Christmas Elves on December 8th so we are asking that all donations be brought to the school by December 5th.
This year, the students can begin bringing in donations to their classrooms on November 26th. We will have two special days, on November 29th and 30th, where students can trade in donations for tickets. These tickets will be put into a draw giving their family the chance to win the Comfy Couch for one of the Christmas Concert performances.
We have been in contact with the Christmas Elves and this is their food “wish list”. These are just some of the needed food items but any food donation is greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much for your support!
