Festival du Livre, Day 1, $523 Net

Great start to sales post Thanksgiving long weekend - soooo tough to remember anything let alone the start of the book fair!

We made $523 (net) today and we have a goal of possibly $3000 (net) sales so we can earn 60% back in Scholastic credit. Nevertheless, $3000 in three days, may be too lofty. So let's do the best we can and have fun buying yumy French books.

Wed & Thu
7:45-8am
9:45-10am little recess
11:45-12:15 Big recess
2:05-4pm Wed and until 3pm Thu

Mme M-A is still looking for parent volunteers for cashier help and Thursday, 3pm clean up and pack up. Contact her at smurrell@sd83.bc.ca.

Merci beaucoup.

Every Second Counts - Don't Wait to Get Out!

Image result for every second counts plan 2 ways out poster

National Fire Protection Association Writes:

Draw a map of your home by using our grid in English (PDF) or Spanish (PDF) with all members of your household, marking two exits from each room and a path to the outside from each exit.
Practice your home fire drill twice a year. Conduct one at night and one during the day with everyone in your home, and practice using different ways out.
Teach children how to escape on their own in case you can’t help them.
Make sure the number of your home is clearly marked and easy for the fire department to find.
Close doors behind you as you leave – this may slow the spread of smoke, heat, and fire.
Once you get outside, stay outside. Never go back inside a burning building.
