Hello Southlands Families!
Congratulations to Janelle in Div. 7 who won Pizza with the Principal this month! Thanks to everyone for reading the Southlands Newsletter!
On Thursday, Joanna Wood, Deb Broadhurst and I attended a symposium at UBC. The topic was the IB Program and Indigenous students. It was important to be able to share Southlands’ story and learn from other schools’ experiences. We will be continuing the conversation with UBC in the coming months.
We are looking forward to seeing families at the Winter Social on December 18th! Thanks to everyone for your continued involvement and support of our school.
Sincerely,
Margaret Paxton ( @SouthlandsIB) |

Fundraise while shopping!
Thank you to the families who have joined our FlipGive team! We have already earned $153! We encourage others to join the team using code FRJ3Z5.
Shopping online through the FlipGive Southlands team is a fundraising method that allows you to shop and have a commission go to the PAC. There are no extra costs to you.
Use the FlipGive app or browser plugin before shopping online at stores like Starbucks, Amazon, Sportchek, Nike, Bay, The Gap, Indigo, etc. and you will be ensuring a percentage of your purchase gets credited to Southlands programs. There is even a way to shop in-store and get the same benefit!
Download the FlipGive App or visit www.flipgive.com/join to sign up. You will be asked to enter the Southlands Elementary team code FRJ3Z5.
How does it work? Stores on FlipGive pay a commission whenever you shop with them via their app or website, and FlipGive shares that commission with the team you are registered for. You can choose to make your shopping purchase private and no details of your shopping are shared with the PAC.
Happy Shopping!
