FKS families,

It has been another whirlwind week here at FKS with so many fun and exciting learning opportunities for students. We hope you are travelling safely in this weather and wish you a relaxing and peaceful Thanksgiving break next week for those who are celebrating.

And speaking of weather....As we head into Winter we want to ask for your help with several items:

  • Please make sure you follow the designated signage and traffic flow in the FKS parking lots. In general, this is always needed but as we reach the snowy season and with the snow banks, we need to be more vigilant in order to keep everyone safe.

  • Please make sure your child/ren come to school dressed appropriately for the weather. Layers, hats, gloves and jackets are great when the weather is cold as we still like to get outside for recess, physical education and some fresh air whenever possible. If you need assistance with accessing these items for your child please reach out to us and we would be more than happy to confidentially help you.

Your Principal, Dr. Christopher Marangon

Your Asst. Principal, Mr. John Winsted

HEALTHY LIFESTYLE CALENDAR

In case you have not heard..... Each month Mr. Churchill and Ms. Antonov hand out a healthy lifestyle calendar with different healthy activities for students to complete at home with family, friends, etc. Students complete and hand this in at the end of the month and the class with the most complete receive a class trophy, their picture outside the MPR, and a PE game of their choice in class!!! There are many different aspects of a healthy lifestyle including: Physical Activity, Eating Healthy Foods, Getting enough sleep, drinking water, taking care of your environment, and mental / emotional self care. All of these practices help a person lead a healthy lifestyle. To help us do that, use this calendar as a way to motivate students to be healthy! You can see the November Healthy Lifestyle Calendar HERE
