Hello Grade 2 Families,
Our school community at St. Philip Catholic School will be fundraising and collecting donations during the season of Lent to support The Richmond Food Bank. Donations can be made using SchoolCash online and/or during our "$2.00 Food Bank Days" at St. Philip. Toonies will be accepted on our 4 themed days listed below. Also, all grade levels have been assigned specific food items/toiletries to donate throughout Lent. Please have your child drop off any donation items with their homeroom teacher/classroom.

Hello Grade 2 Families,
Please see the email copied below that was sent out to families this morning via School Message Sender:
Hello Grade 2 Families,
Below are a few updates:
Term 1 Reports will be made available to families this week via the parent portal. There are no parent-teacher conferences scheduled for this reporting period.
The Feast of St. Valentine (Valentine's Day) is on Saturday Feb. 14th. Our class (as well as many other classes) will be distributing valentines on Friday Feb.13th. I do not send out a class list directly; however, students wrote down a list of all classmates' names this morning. They were instructed to bring the list home today so that they can add names to their valentines if they wish. If students do not have valentines, I will have valentines copied for them to use/distribute to their peers. There are 22 students in our class. There are students in our class and school community with life threatening allergies so please do not send in any food items to distribute. Thank you.
Our next library visit and book exchange is next Wednesday (Feb.18th). Please return all books before then. Library visits are rotational by assigned week, i.e. Junior, Primary, Kindergarten. We are not visiting the library weekly/bi-weekly as in the past.
Much appreciated,
Adam McSheffrey
