Good afternoon everyone!
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Ours
was a good one. We had a kids gift exchange with our neighbours, Carter attended
a birthday party at Glow Zone and last night we took a drive to see some of the
well known Christmas light displays around Georgetown.
Tomorrow is a Day 5 and our concert. Students are asked to come in their gym uniform and they will change into their costume at the school. There are two shows tomorrow; one at 1:00 and one at 6:30, with the doors opening at 12:30 and 6:00. All students are required to be in their classrooms for 5:15 to allow enough time for hair, makeup and costumes. We have had such great success with the clothing drive that it
is being extended into this week. Any unwanted gently used clothes are greatly
appreciated! All library books are due back to Ms. Hayward today, Monday,
December 16. Books will no longer be able to be signed out until after
Christmas. Wednesday is casual day for those who have paid the $20 casual day
fee. Wednesday and Thursday is our December bake sale. Thursday is our last day
of school before we head into Christmas break. It is also our Christmas spirit day
– wear all things Christmassy or Christmas colours. We will be having a small
class party and watching Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief.
On December 17, 2019, students from Grade 3 to Grade 8 will
put on two performances at the St. Jude’s Academy Dome. Our afternoon
performance will begin at 1:00 pm, with doors opening at 12:30. Our evening
performance will begin at 6:30 pm, with doors opening at 6:00 pm. Seating is on
a first come, first serve basis. Please keep in mind that outside food and
drinks are not permitted in the Dome.
For our evening performance, all students are to be dropped off in their
classrooms to get ready for the show for 5:15. All students will be bussed back
from the performance to the school. Students will not be able to leave from the
dome. Families are welcome to take our shuttle from St. Jude’s to the Dome and
back. Shuttles will begin running from 6:00 pm until 7:00 pm. Please meet in
the main office.
We encourage all families to come bundled up to stay warm and cozy for
the entire show. The students and teachers have put a tremendous amount of work
into their performances and kindly ask that all families stay and enjoy the
show until the end.

Good To Be Bad
Our next extra-curricular
activity is skiing/snowboarding at Glen
Eden Ski Resort. The dates of the trip are January 22, February 19 and March 4. We will be leaving at 7:00 AM
and returning by 4:00 PM at the latest. All rentals are included, however
students are more than welcome to bring their own. Please do not order hot
lunch for these days as we will be eating lunch at the ski hill – students are
welcome to bring money to purchase food and drink items. Students must ensure
they are dressed in appropriate ski gear; warm socks, long johns with comfy
clothes, snow pants, warm mitts, a face protector and a ski jacket. Please note
that if students chose skiing, they will ski all three times. If students pick
snowboarding, they will snowboard all three times. All students will have to
pass each level before they are granted permission to ski on the big hill, no
matter what their experience. Permission
forms and waivers are due back no
later than Thursday, December 12. Please thoroughly complete all forms
before returning.
