The SMPS School Council is pleased to announce a presentation on goal setting by Katie

Weatherston in our school gymnasium on Monday January 30, 2012 from 12:30 to 1:30 pm.

Ms Weatherston is a hockey player who has won gold and silver medals playing for the

Women’s National Hockey Team and she also carried the Olympic Torch in 2010.

The presentation will be for Grades 3 to 6 and parents are welcome to attend.

SMPS will be having a Scholastic Book Fair along with the

Jars Jars Jars event on Wednesday November 23 from 6:00

to 8:00 pm. Children will have a chance to view the books on

Tuesday with their classes and can buy the books on

Wednesday in the library. All profits from the Book Fair will

be used to purchase additional books for the SMPS library.

We are still looking for donations of jars with items a child

would enjoy. Children can purchase a jar for $3.00. Please

drop off your jar before November 21.

We will also be holding a Guess the Number of Buttons game

where children can guess the number and be entered to win

a gift basket. Tickets are 1 for $0.50 or 3 for $1.00.
