Hello Southlands Families!
On Friday we were treated to a wonderful Lunar New Year assembly with performances by some extremely talented students and parents. Thank you to everyone who organized this production and the activities that followed, especially Lana and Derek Palaschuk. You all inspired us! Happy New Year!
This week we will be welcoming four new students to Southlands, who are moving over from Vancouver Island. Their names are Emily (grade 2), Beatrice and Randi (grade 1), and their brother, Coleman (Kindergarten). Welcome to Southlands!
We will also be welcoming a new Office Assistant, Teresa Sutter, a new building engineer, Marcus, and a new teacher, Ms. Maddi Malone, who will be the teacher of Division 3. We are so excited to meet them.
Friday is a Professional Day and next Monday is Family Day, so please enjoy your long weekend.
As always, if you have any questions of concerns, please get in touch.
Sincerely,
Margaret Paxton ( @SouthlandsIB) |

Fundraise while shopping!
Thank you to the families who have joined our FlipGive team! 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!
