Look at that, It's December and the countdown to Christmas is here! Speaking of which our Christmas concert is on the 17th at 6pm. This year we are doing an adaptation of the Charles Dicken's classic A Christmas Carol with our classes performing various songs as part of the event. Work has been ongoing with Mrs. Kowalchuck, Ms. Corcoran, and Mr. Stoyles to make the event magical. We will again be doing our Christmas Concert bake sale, please see the poster below for more information.
This past week we Wildwood School hosted a meeting of the Ad Hoc committee looking at bussing of Wildwood students to the amalgamated Grand Trunk school. Board Chair/Lobstick Trustee Melodie Boblick, Trustee Tracy Acorn, Director Christine Van Neck, Wildwood School Council Chair Carla Gylander, bus drivers Jim Akers and Natasja Steinbusch, GTHS Principal Heidi Zadderey, and Wildwood Principal Alan Stoyles.

Do you have any spare snow pants, hats or waterproof gloves you would be willing to donate to the school, especially in sizes for our younger students? Please drop off at the office.
Wildwood students love to shovel snow and we are always in need of shovels. If you have any you would like to donate to the school please drop off at the office.
With weather dropping into the negatives it is important that students are fully dressed for winter including gloves, hats, snow pants, and boots. Outside recess continues until we hit a combined windchill/actual temperature of -20, please dress accordingly. It is a great idea to have some extra hats and gloves included with students extra clothes in their lockers.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out by calling the school at 780-325-3858 or emailing me at alanstoy@gypsd.ca
Sincerely,
Alan Stoyles
Principal
