Student Council invites everyone to its Wacky Tacky Grub Day. Dress in clothes that are mismatched, backwards, or inside out--different colored sneakers, clothes that don’t match or don’t necessarily go together. We ask that everyone bring in a $1 donation to support Operation Smile, an international non-profit organization that believes every child born with a cleft lip or cleft palate deserves quality surgical care. For the bake sale, please remember to bring money for our delicious baked items (most cost 50 cents each).
Gr. 1 will perform a Mexican scarf dance; Gr. 2 will perform an Indian stick dance; and Gr. 5 will perform on the uekeleles. Happy Valentine's Day to all!

What, if anything, should elementary schools and parents with elementary school children be doing in response?

What are your thoughts? Please join us for a conversation on this timely topic.
