The Weekly Update #4

For updates regarding the labour disruption, please visit the Battle River School Division website.

At our most recent School Council Meeting, the Hay Lakes Society for Youth Development shared that the hot lunch program, that is run through the website Healthy Hunger, raised almost $890 for the Society. These funds are used to support many programs in our school. Thank you for your support of our hot lunch program, and our school.

Last year, the Society was instrumental in purchasing the new projector for our gymnasium, and in the past they have purchased instruments for our band program and supported our school in purchasing Chromebooks.

The Hay Lakes Society for Youth Development is hosting a Casino on Thursday, October 30th and Friday, October 31st and are looking for more volunteers. If you are interested in helping out and supporting HLSYD by donating your time, please click here to sign up!

Our Cross Country team participated in the New Norway and Bashaw races and once again, our students did an amazing job representing Hay Lakes School! Go Tigers!

Our first set of parent teacher interviews is tentatively set for October 22nd, from 3:30 until 8:00. Parents are encouraged to come in and meet with teachers to discuss their child's progress.

We are excited to announce a new Book Club for grade 5 and 6 students! Each month we will highlight a different book and host a meeting for participants which will include activities, discussions of the book, and the distribution of brag tags. Six copies of the book will be available to sign out and names will be drawn to determine who can sign them out. The book for October is Pax by Sara Pennypacker. If your child would like to participate, the book can be purchased on Amazon here. For more information, email Mrs. Irvine.

Our Fall Book Fair is coming soon! The tentative dates are October 20th - 23rd. You will be welcome to attend the Fair during your student's scheduled time or at any time during our scheduled hours. Flyers will be sent home prior to the Book Fair.

The grade 8 class visited Telegraph Park last week to test their fire making skills. All students were successful and were able to celebrate with some hotdogs and marshmallows cooked over their fires!

Once again, we had a beautiful day for our run this year and we raised just over $1800 for cancer research! As a reward for surpassing our goal of $1300, students enjoyed a frozen treat after the run! Well done everybody!
