Hats On! For Mental Health Day!
On May 3, we will be
recognizing “Hats on for Mental Health” at our school. We will be asking
students to wear a special hat on this day to help raise awareness of the
importance of good mental health. Each May, Albertans are invited to wear
a hat to raise awareness of the importance of good mental health. Participating
schools will relax their hat rules and encourage students and teachers to build
understanding by wearing hats to school. Whether its a sombrero, a fedora or a favorite
sports hat, all favorite hats are encouraged. For those students who choose to
do so, we will have a collection jar at the front office for donations to
the Alberta Mental Health Division of the Canadian Mental Health
Association. More information is on the website:
May 8th-May
11th is Children’s Book
Week. The challenge will run from today until Thursday, May 11th. We ask
that on Thursday, May 11th please return the reading logs, that your child has
brought home today. Track how many books that your child reads.
In addition to the
reading log, at the bottom of the form is an area for students to predict how
many books they think all the students in the school can read during that time
period. The student that makes the closest prediction to the number of books
read will win a prize. Our hope is to have the prizes distributed on Friday,
May 12th by the end of the day. Please make sure names and teacher names
are on the form and send them back as they fill up or on Thursday May 11th.
Jump rope for
heart!
We encourage you to
fundraise at home and online!!! Check out Ms. Hennicks Post: http://hennickpe.blogspot.ca/
Dear Parent/Guardian:
Royal Oak School is pleased to be
holding a Heart and Stroke Foundation Jump Rope for Heart Fundraiser. The kick
off assembly for this event is Wednesday April 26th at 1:00pm
in our gymnasium. All money raised will support the Heart and Stroke Foundation
in their mission to promote children’s health and fund vital heart and stroke
research.
Jump Rope for Heart encourages kids to
get active by skipping rope while they collect pledges for heart disease and
stroke research. They also learn the importance of living a healthy lifestyle
and giving back to their community. This year marks Jump
Rope for Heart’s 35th Anniversary and the Heart and Stroke Foundation is
striving to get 1 million kids Jumping in close to 4,000 schools across Canada.
Let’s be part of it!
We need your help to reach our School
fundraising goal of $5000.
Please help support your child’s
fundraising efforts by registering them online atJumpRopeForHeart.ca and send out donation
request emails to friends, family and colleagues. Online fundraising is the
quickest way to reach all of your contacts and online donors receive an
automatic tax receipt. Plus, when students receive their first online donation
(of any amount), they will receive a $5 kick-start and a free skipping rope* from the Heart
& Stroke Foundation!
Please visit JumpRopeForHeart.ca and
start fundraising today!
Each student will be bringing home a
pledge envelope on Wednesday if you prefer to collect donations in-person.
Please ensure that their pledge envelope is returned by May 11th to
their classroom teacher.
Thank you in advance for your support,
Helen Hennick
