October’s character trait is TEAMWORK, which is working respectfully and effectively with a group and doing your share. Mrs. Amanda and the grade 5s performed a skit on teamwork for the school. Great job grade 5s!

THANKSGIVING FOOD DRIVE

The Daily Bread Food Bank is a registered charity that is fighting hunger in our communities. Every year Prestige School collects non-perishable foods for the families in need at Thanksgiving. This year our food drive is from October 1st to 7th.

Ms. Ivana and Ms. Zahra are organizing this year’s food drive. They are asking students to bring a bag of non-perishable foods. Please bring your bag to Ms. Ivana and she will put your name on the board in the front foyer.

Let’s make this year our most productive year yet!

TERRY FOX RUN

On Thursday, September 22nd, Prestige School students and teachers participated in the Terry Fox School Run. Students had fun running or walking in the neighbourhood to carry on Terry’s legacy.

Prestige students raised $2789 for the Terry Fox Foundation! Amazing job this year! That’s more than last year’s total. Thank you to everyone that donated. Since we exceeded our goal, Mrs. Amanda allowed students that raised $100 or more to dump water on her. Thank you Mrs. Amanda for motivating our students and for organizing the run. Check out our gallery for more pictures.

Honourable mentions:

Madelaine (gr. 2) collected over $600 in donations! She was the top fundraiser in the whole school.

Joshua (gr. 5) collected $220 in donations!
