Water Bottles

Holy Redeemer Water Bottles

This year, Holy Redeemer is aiming for Silver Eco Certification. One initiative we would like to begin in January is the elimination of disposable water bottles here at the school. To support this initiative the Earth Care Club is selling reusable water bottles for $12.00 each.

These 24 oz, stainless steel water bottles are available to order in either blue or red. A great feature of these bottles is the flip-up sipper spout on the black screw-on cover. It prevents splashes when on-the-go and also makes use that much more convenient for students. The "Go Rockets" logo will also be imprinted on the bottle.

Order forms have been sent home this week and are due by December 7, 2012. If you're looking for Christmas ideas, this could make a great stocking stuffer!

COLDER WEATHER

The cold weather looks like it is here to stay!  Please make sure that you are sending your child to school everyday dressed for the weather.  We do like to play outside, so hats and mittens are a must!  We want to make sure that everyone is dressed to have some outdoor fun!!

A friendly reminder to ensure your child is ALWAYS DRESSED for the weather conditions. We try to play outdoors for 10-20 minutes every day. Please send mittens (instead of gloves) as they are easier for your child to put on.  The goal in Kindergarten is to achieve dressing INDEPENDENTLY so please practice and reinforce this habit at home. Also remember the sequence we practice: "pants, boots, coat, hat, and LAST comes MITTS".  We would appreciate if you could do the same at home.

Thank you for your support.

SEEKING missing TOYS!


Dear Parents,
Please search your homes and toy boxes for small characters that are missing from Mme.Blahout's classroom.  Specifically, "Dora" and "Diego" (approx. 2" or 5cm in length). There are also some "littlest ponies" and "fairies" missing but Dora is in demand! Thank you for your assistance in this regard.

A FAMILY NAME is IMPORTANT too!

This is just a reminder that all children should know their BASIC personal information.  BASIC INFO. includes first and LAST NAME, along with a phone number, street address, and birthday. Try going over this information for a minute or two whenever you are walking, driving, eating, or shopping with your child.

ABOUT INTERVIEWS

All teachers will be conducting interviews in the gymnasium this year. Please note that each meeting is only 10 minutes long and so your assigned time is all that is available. If we run out of time and still have items to discuss - don't worry - we will follow-up with a phone call home. We must stick closely to the interview schedule in order to talk to all parents.  Thank you for your understanding in this regard.


Mme.Blahout has now filled all available time slots on Thursday, Nov. 8th.  Any parent who has not received a note indicating an interview time will be contacted in the next few days by either note or phone call.
Thank you for your patience.
