Starting Monday, February 6th through Friday, February 10th students will have the opportunity to send a Friend Gram to a friend. What is a Friend Gram? A Friend Gram is a card where students can write a positive message to a friend, or even tell them why they are important to them! This friend does not need to be in their class, but they will need to know which class they are in. Leadership students will be delivering the Friend Grams on Valentine’s Day and the best part is that it is free!
We will also be having a Spirit Day on Valentine’s Day, February 14th! Students can earn House Points for their Sports Day Team by wearing either: Pink, Red, or White. They can also come to school wearing clothing that has hearts on it! Students will earn 1 House Point for wearing any of these colours! If they would like to earn an additional point for their Team they can also wear any accessories such as a Valentine Day headband. So, in total they can earn 2 House Points for their Sports Day Team! Happy Valentine’s Day!
Next week is Literacy Week at Suncrest! Some events planned are: Shirts with Words, Bookmark Making, Teacher Guest Readers, Drop Everything and Read, Dress up like your favourite character, Reading in the Dark, and Family Bingo.
