Dear Parents/Guardians:

Good afternoon. Report cards will be going home with students today. If your child did not attend school due to weather, please don’t worry. They can bring their report card home on Tuesday. A reminder that tomorrow is a PD day, and Monday is a holiday (Family Day). Enjoy your four day weekend!

School Council Parent Talks

Please join us in the library on these upcoming dates to learn more about important parenting topics. Sign will be provided on School Cash. Childcare is available as these are parent only speakers. A paper copy of this information went home with students this week. 

The Beam Team is promoting kindness for the month of February!  

• We are excited to announce a kindness week sticker sale! Sales will begin on Feb. 12 and be sold until Feb.20.  Look for details and purchase through School Cash Online. We encourage students to buy kindness stickers for themselves or to share them with others. 

• To show kindness to our community, we are doing a charity drive to support Gillian's Place. Gillian’s Place is a resource center and a shelter for women and non-gender-affirming individuals who are experiencing domestic violence situations and need a place of safety. We are looking for donations of hygiene products, feminine hygiene products, school/art supplies, and winter accessories. We will begin collecting these items beginning Feb.10 until the end of the month!  We thank you in advance for your support and generosity as our Jacob Beam community continues to support our community charities.

• On Wednesday the 19th our school will be creating kindness buttons to spread kindness and joy throughout our school. For the middle block, classes will get together with their colour houses to share stories about kindness and decorate a kindness button that they will be able to wear or place on their school bags!
