The Green Zone

We've got that Rider Pride! And a bonus, we won a PIZZA PARTY in the school decorating showdown!  The Green Potluck was a huge success. What a great way to celebrate our favorite football team and share a delicious buffet with our friends!  A great community celebration!

Catching up: Halloween Fun in Grade 6!

Book Talks!

Riderville!

November 18, 2013 Dear Parents, It’s an exciting time to live in Riderville! We are going to share our Rider pride in our Grade 6 classrooms this week in a couple different ways:

• The school is having a Rider-inspired decorating contest. Feel free to send any green or Rider decorations to school to help us deck out our wing in green! We will be creating artwork this week to help decorate, as well. Students are encouraged to come decked out in green on Friday! 
• On Friday morning, both classrooms will share together in a GREEN POTLUCK. Students are encouraged to bring something GREEN to share with classmates for lunch. We will begin our GREEN POTLUCK at about 11am. The fridge and microwave will be available if needed. Please be careful to avoid nuts in anything you send to school. Thanks!

I am also sending students home with a paper note about two upcoming trips (Nov. 27 to the Wizard of Oz at Balfour Collegiate, and a day trip to Mission Ridge for skiing on Dec. 13), as well as a request for $4.50 for student agendas.  Thanks!
