November is set aside each year as Reading Month! This includes a variety of scheduled activities such as DEAR (Drop Everything And Read) Days, student co-reading, admin reading to students, teacher swap reading, and book character dress up day. There are also numerous contests aimed at getting kids reading more, and excited to share what adventures they've read.
Reading Month 2022 - Bookopoly is the Name, Reading is the Game!
Every year the school fundraises for the MUFU Home in Kenya, supported by CRWRF. A majority of this fundraising takes place during Heart week in February with the biggest events taking place on Thursday of that week, MUFU Day!
Our Student Banking days are on the 1st Thursday of each month this year, October to June.
If a student with a Fat Cat bank account makes a deposit once a month that is equal to their grade, ie. a grade 3 student would deposit $3.00 every month, then the student as well as the school will receive a bonus at the end of the year! This deposit can be made in several ways of course, it does not have to be made during school banking but this is one of the options that the Christian Credit Union offers you!
On bank day you can send your child to school with a deposit and their bank book or something that has their bank account number on it and we will take care of the deposit for them. We will announce at lunch time when the "bank lady" is ready for them and the students can make their way to the office.
