This last week of 2020 at Journey!

School News:

Points of Progress – December 11 was the due date for parents to receive updates of their child’s academic progress for the first term.  Most had already gone home, but if you haven’t received them, please contact your child’s teacher(s). 

Sooke Food Bank – Journey is selling candy canes for $1 each from now until December 16 at 9 a.m.  We have raised over $1000 so far.  Each candy cane gives the buyer an opportunity to also win a Nintendo Switch Lite and Mario game.  It will be given away on the morning announcements.  Cash donations to the Sooke Food Bank can be brought to school or, thanks to former student Genelle Hill, can be donated through EMCS’  alternative to their annual 10,0000 Night at sd62.schoolcashonline.com/Fee/Details/670/137/false/true?fundDestination=10%2C000%20Tonight%20Food%20Drive%20-%20EMCS%20Family  We are one community working to help and celebrate each other!

Crib Board Donations:  Thank you to the families who have donated crib boards to Div 5/6!  Keep them coming.  Please drop them off with your teacher, Ms. Sims, Ms. Nadeau, or in the office.  Thank you!

From Ms. Wallace in the Library -Don’t forget to spend some time curled up with a good book over the holiday – your brain will thank you for it
