Hello Linsford Families,

We look forward to seeing many of you at our Christmas Concert Sing-a-long on Wednesday, December 18th. Please see the information in the image later in this post or CLICK HERE for all the details. Our concert day is also fancy dress up day. The students will be practicing a number of times over the next couple of days and they are excited to sing with you on Wednesday evening.

The grade 6 class would like to thank everyone who donated to the food drive. They reached their goal of 400 food items. You can check out some photos below of the awesome castle sculpture they made. Thank you Mrs. Weiss for organizing this event. The food will help support many families!

Don’t forget to buy 50/50 tickets for a chance to win some Christmas cash and to support some fundraising for our new playground. You can purchase tickets by clicking HERE!

ASSEMBLY UPDATE

We have been having some fun learning a fun line dance in our assembly over the past few weeks. The grade 6s are also leading us in the 12 days of Fitmas and they add a new physical activity each day. We are still working on a gratitude / giving theme, however, there have been some big emotions lately, and so we took a pause to read about our emotions. We discussed some strategies on how to handle some of the big emotions and then ended with some student draws. Congratulations to our draw winners! (There is one missing from the photos, but we will catch his photo for the upcoming week!)

MINI BASKETBALL

We travelled to Warburg for our game this past week. It was a very exciting experience. Thank you to all the fans that came out to support our team! It was a close game, but we lost by a few baskets with a score of 24-19. We are very proud of how well our boys are playing and they have learned so much in such a short amount of time. Congratulations on your amazing effort and team spirit!

SHOW YOUR HOLIDAY SPIRIT

What a fun dress up day! Our students and staff are definitely getting very excited for the upcoming holidays. Below are some pictures to enjoy!

MHCB EVENTS

We had two MHCB (Mental Health Capacity Building) sponsored events this past week. Our staff was able to participate in a fun gnome-making craft. Then later that same evening, we hosted Cookies n’ Crafts. Thank you to all the families that attended! It was a really fun evening and we look forward to more events in the future. THANK YOU to our MHCB team . . . they are the BEST!

There’s GNOME place like Linsford. What a great team!!

Cookies n’ Crafts: So many SMILES and so much FUN!!!
