Thunder News Flash – March 12, 2022

We wish all families a happy and fun-filled Spring Break, with many opportunities to enjoy the beautiful surroundings in our community, or wherever you may travel to.  We hope that you are all safe and healthy over these next two weeks, and come back to school on Monday, March 28th refreshed and ready to enjoy the remainder of the school year.

As you know, the Provincial COVID-19 Communicable Disease Guidelines for K-12 Settings have been revised with the many changes that were announced by our Provincial Health Officer on March 10th, and as such the school’s Communicable Disease Plan will be revised for the re-opening of school after our break.  There are many different opinions about the protocols we have been required to follow, as well as the lifting of these protocols, but we know that when we return to school we will continue to be kind, patient and respectful of each other.  

The Income Tax Receipts for tuition paid during the 2021 calendar year were mailed home to families on February 28th.  Please note that these are used as a charitable donation for income tax purposes, and not as tuition.

We would like to introduce our biggest fundraiser of the year:  Zumbation 2022, which will be held on Friday, May 13th!  (Please note the date change.)

This year we will once again have a Prize Raffle for the Zumbathon Prizes.  Students earn 1 raffle ticket for every $10 that they personally raise in pledges.  The students can then use these raffle tickets to put into the prize raffle of their choice. 

The PFA has already started asking many businesses to donate prizes.  We are also asking the school families and businesses if they would consider donating a new item or cash to purchase a prize, so that we have a variety of prizes for all ages and interests.  Thank you for your consideration!

We look forward to sharing more information about Zumbathon with you after Spring Break, including what specific project we will be raising funds for this year!
