Students are shifting back into learning routines as we reconnect and refocus on supporting learning and well-being for all. Our amazing School Council hosted a Halloween dance on Thursday for the school community. We had a small parade on Friday to view costumes, winding up with a little dance celebration in the gym just before dismissal. We hope everyone had a happy and safe Halloween, for those who celebrate. Please consider sending healthy snacks for the morning recess next week, as treats often do not satisfy student appetites during our longer mornings. Thank you!
Next week brings a solemn focus with our Remembrance Day assembly on Friday. Families are welcome to join this service at 10:40. If you wish, we are collecting donations for the poppy fund. All students will receive a poppy to wear at the assembly.
We are looking forward to some brighter mornings, as the clocks went back an hour this weekend for the time change.
Please note that November 10-12 is the Fall Break and Remembrance Day holiday. Classes will resume Thursday, November 13.

Jacket Racket
We are collecting gently used winter gear in any child or adult size, including jackets, snowpants, mittens/gloves, toques and scarves. These will be donated through the Jacket Racket organization to Calgarians in need. Our Junior Leaders will be working on this initiative to give back to our community. The new deadline for donations is Friday, November 14th.
From School Council:
Cookie Dough Fundraiser – Deadline Extended!
The deadline for order forms and payments has been extended until Tuesday, November 4!! That gives you one last weekend to finish up sales and submit your form and payments.
If you already sent an e-transfer, you can submit a second one. And if you already submitted your form and want another, you can pop into the school office to pick one up.
By November 4, a single (or second) e-transfer payment (with student's name in memo) for your student's entire order can be sent to fundraising@riverbendraccoons.ca. Completed order forms can be submitted through your student’s teacher. Thank you for your support of this fundraiser for our students!
