Dear Gibson Families,

I hope this message finds you well.

We wanted to take a moment to extend our heartfelt thanks for your incredible support and patience during the first week of school. Your understanding has been invaluable as we navigate this busy and exciting time.

We know that many of you are eager to find out who your child’s teacher will be, and we want you to know that we are working diligently to finalize classroom placements as quickly as possible. Our team is committed to ensuring that every student is placed in the best possible environment for their growth and success.

We appreciate your continued patience and support as we work through this process.

Thank you once again for being such a crucial part of our school community.

We’re excited to announce that our school is participating in this year’s Terry Fox School Run, and we’re eager to get everyone involved in this important cause.

Our goal is to raise funds for cancer research, and we’re aiming for each student to contribute a “toonie” (a $2 coin) towards our fundraising efforts. Every little bit helps, and together we can make a significant impact in the fight against cancer.

We encourage you to talk with your child about the importance of this cause and to help them contribute their toonie. Contributions can be sent in with your child or given to their teacher.

Thank you for your support and for joining us in this meaningful initiative. Your generosity and involvement are greatly appreciated!

We’re excited to let you know that Individual Photo Day is coming up on September 16! This is a wonderful opportunity for each student to shine and have their picture taken.

We encourage everyone to bring their biggest smiles, as these photos will become cherished memories for years to come. Please make sure your child is dressed in their favourite outfit and ready to look their best.
