Dear Mom and Dad:
We had an assembly this morning and a group called “Right to Play” presented. We met a man named Chris who lost a leg in a car accident. He
is part of an international sport called “sitting volleyball” and competes in
the Paralympics.
All three classes had choir today. We did some pumpkin art
using pastels today and paint. They all turned out beautifully!
Question of the day: Post on the blog one thing your learned
or saw at the Right of Way Assembly this morning.
Love,
The Rainbow Triad

Jacket Racket Program: Cranston School is collecting outdoor
winter clothing items until the end of the month. If you have items you would
like to donate such as: mittens, toques, jackets, scarves and snow pants,

all the way up to grade 12.
We are going on a field trip to the Telus Sparks Centre on Wednesday November 19 for the entire school day. We will need volunteers, please let your child's teacher know if you would like to volunteer. We will be sending field trip forms next week with all of the information. Thank you very much!
We will be starting our inquiry for building in a few weeks. We are looking for materials that students can experiment with. If you, or your neighbors have items such as: cereal boxes, paper towel rolls, coffee tins, pringle cans, etc. Anything that we can build with! We will be asking students to bring these items on the week of November 12. It would be great if you could start collecting now. Thank you!

There are sports you can play if you only have one leg, like skating hockey. There's a thing you sit on and you use sticks to move. - Aden
