Our Grade 4 class has been learning how Jesus came to give light to the world and how we can also shine His light. Last week these words were put into action as bags of love were distributed. Students had put together these bags to send off to some of our isolate seniors from our church. Included were letters, hand made cards, praying hands with prayers and some goodies. (Some students even purchased extra goodies and stuffies on their own to add to some bags.) If there ever was a time to acknowledge someone around you and let them know they are appreciated, it is now. For as the students have studied: You are the light of the world." (Matthew 5:14).

Environment Canada is now calling for hazardous winter conditions with a windchill of -55 tonight and -51 tomorrow morning. We are keeping our kids safe and closing our school once again tomorrow. But take hope, with a possible -5 on Family Day Monday, we should be out and about again. And we are very likely to be OPEN and productive again at CHCS Tuesday, Feb. 16!

Environment Canada is forecasting, with the windchill, -48 overnight and -45 tomorrow morning. We are staying closed again tomorrow.

Those grade 1 students sure had some good answers about the real Christmas story that I just had to share the extended version with you all!

Merry Christmas Everyone! https://vimeo.com/492673904

Another cool seating arrangement!

Here’s a fun seating arrangement! Be sure to turn your phone around to see all of the hidden students.

It’s our last two in-school days. Please have a look at this rack! We hung up all the items in our lost and found. It’s now parked in our breezeway at our front entrance. Please come on by to grab the clothes that belong to your kids. These items will be donated to a second hand store the first week of January. If you don’t see this message to collect your clothes before Christmas break, message or email Steven Gabrys and he’ll arrange a time to meet you at the school.

Our Virtual Christmas recordings went well...virtually flawless! Thank you JR, Randy, Larry and the College Heights Church for helping us be able to still put on a Christmas program this year! Our CHCS Christmas Showcase program will be released December 18! Stay tuned!

Just a reminder that tomorrow is Character Day! Come to school dressed as a book or movie character.

What a great way to start a new week of school...having our ECS class show what they are working on! Have a look for yourself!

This year marked the 40th year of The Marathon of Hope. CHCS again exceeded expectations in raising money for cancer research. This year was extra special, as 10 staff volunteered to be "dunked" if students raised different $$ values. To our students and donors...WE THANK YOU!!!

Get into the Christmas spirit and wear your Ugly or Crazy Christmas sweater on Wednesday!!!

In Flanders Fields...

So many great book / movie characters showed up on Tuesday!

Our hallways were beautifully decorated for today, with many words and symbols of remembrance.

Hot lunch! Did you know each week we offer students hot lunch. Today was veggie hotdogs and some yummy sides. There are lots to choose from. Orders can be placed on Rycor!

Please note the deadline for our Grade 9 fundraiser is tomorrow, November 19. These are beautiful fresh additions for homes and or gifts. https://chcs.growingsmilesfundraising.com/home
