WE DAY!!
Students interested in participating in WE Day 2016...we have 18 available spots! We will be having our
first meeting next week for Students in grades 6-12 who are interested. The commitment is that students
wishing to attend must participate (as a group) in organizing one fundraiser, one awareness campaign and
one community project before the end of the year. We will meet the second Wednesday of every month.

Our Family Rock Project

Students will be painting rocks this month as a fun way to
decorate the front of the school and to show our sense of
Community.
Elementary will be doing these in class but on October 18
and 19th we will have a painting area open in the concourse
for students in grade 6-12. We are looking for parents or
community members who might be willing to supervise our
painting space for a couple of hours on either of these
days. It will open at 9:30 am and close at 4:00 pm.
Please email: kirsten.collison@wrsd.ca if you are interested. Thanks!!

Remembrance Day Gallery Walk

Caroline School, in coordination with the Caroline Legion, will be hosting a
Remembrance Day Gallery Walk at the school from 1:00pm to 4:00 pm on Thursday
Nov. 10. Prior to this day, teachers will be inviting students to go home and interview
family members who either were in the armed forces or know of family members that
may have passed on already but that served in the armed forces. The answers to these
questions along with memorabilia and photos will be on put on display in the
concourse. Please take a moment to discuss and research with your child.
By remembering these stories, we make the sacrifices that were made real to our
students and we bring alive the sense of community that makes Canada so great.

Twin Day Oct. 13th

On October 13th , we held Twin Day at Caroline School. Students found a friend and dressed the same
as!! We wandered the school taking pictures and awarded special treats to our dressed up twins!

Thank you!!!
A huge thank you goes out to all our parent volunteers who helped with the opening campout for the
students in grades 9-12. Denise Berg, Lisa and Dave Ogilvie, Lisa-Rae Young, Rick and Chantelle Foesier,
Jason Knight, Brodey Grumetza, Cheyanna Stange, Karin Graham, and Mackenna Westling.
The campout was a huge success and it couldnt have happened without these awesome parents and
volunteers!

Fall 2016 Scholastic Book Fair

This years first Scholastic Book Fair will be held a few weeks later than usual. We will be holding it for two
full days, on Tuesday, November 15, and Wednesday, November 16 from 8:00 am 7:00 pm.
The timing couldnt be better to pick up some Christmas gifts and stocking stuffers!!!
Watch for the flyers that will come out a couple of weeks beforehand, to give you an idea of some of the
great books that will be at the Fair.
As always, this is the one and only fundraiser for the library, to help us keep it stocked with great new books.
