It has been such a busy week at C.E.S., culminating in a Cycle 3 visit to the Meredith Center for an inspirational speech by a former Olympic athlete, and our energizing Chelsea spirit assembly! I wanted to share a few updates with our community as we head into the weekend.
Halloween Dance – the “Monster Bash”!
It’s BACK! Get ready for our upcoming Halloween Dance on Friday October 27th from 6:30-8:30 PM (doors open at 6:20 PM). Please see the details below:
- Make sure to wear your costume as there will be prizes at the event!
- Admission is $2.00 per student; students must be accompanied by a parent or guardian (no “drop offs”)
- Tickets will be available for purchase for drinks, candy and non-candy treats (glow sticks, toys, etc.)
- Please remember this is a Chelsea Elementary family event and siblings of Grade 6 age and under are welcome
- If you are interested in volunteering to support this event by taking a shift (or more) during the evening, please consider visiting this link to sign up: C.E.S Halloween Parent Volunteer Sign-up 2023 – Google Sheets
- All proceeds raised go towards the purchase of classroom materials for C.E.S.
NOTE: If any families are willing to lend/donate Halloween decorations to help us spookify the MPR, it would be greatly appreciated. Please reach out to the office if you are willing to do so. Looking forward to a fun family event to celebrate the season!
Food Drive Collection Ongoing:
A reminder that Chelsea’s annual food and essentials drive is being held until Tuesday, October 31st. All donations received will go to the Wakefield Food Bank and Shepards of Good Hope. For Shepherds of Good Hope, we are collecting adult-sized socks, hats, gloves, mitts, thermal undergarments/bras, and foot warmers. For the Wakefield Food Bank, we are soliciting canned foods, preserved foods, and/or packaged or non-perishable foods. This is also a homeroom challenge, and the class that brings in the highest number of donations will be gifted a movie afternoon in the MPR with snacks provided! We encourage members of our school community to donate to this year’s annual food and essentials drive and we appreciate all of the support we have already received.
School Photo Packets Coming Home:
The Lifetouch photo proofs have arrived and were distributed to homeroom teachers today. Students will either be coming home with them this evening, or Monday afternoon. Sign up on www.mylifetouch.ca using the details shared on the envelopes to order your school photos.
