Do you like hot lunch Fridays? We may have to cancel the program because of a lack of volunteers.
We rely on parent volunteers for this program to run… please lend a helping hand!
No experience is necessary, just your willingness to help for about an hour around lunch time. Please email Cecilia to signup or visit the Signup page and create an account to sign up for the dates you’re available.
We appreciate help from anyone: parents, aunts/uncles, grandparents, etc!!
Thank you!

Hello Southland Families!
On Tuesday and Wednesday last week, we were very impressed with our students’ Exhibition projects. As someone who has never experienced Exhibition before, two things stood out for me. One was the students’ confidence in public speaking and the other was the number of impactful actions that the groups took to make the world a better place. The students were clearly inspired themselves, and motivated to learn more about their area of interest. I once heard an expert speak on the topic of helping students find a career path, and he said, “Don’t ask young people what their passion is. Ask them instead, what is the source of their heartbreak.” Our Southlands students give us a lot of hope for the future.
This week we welcomed three new friends to Division 5: Aaron, Solomon and Samuel. Welcome to Southlands!
On Monday afternoon we will draw the name of the winner of Pizza with the Principal and the Canucks tickets, so students still have time to enter to win. Bring in the slip from the bottom of the March Newsletter. Thanks again to Ms. Katz and her brother for donating the tickets.
Thanks, as always, to the parents who volunteer for Hot Lunch Fridays. We appreciate your time and service. Extra pizza and hotdogs may be available for purchase for $2 each on Fridays.
Have a great week, everyone, and please call or come by the office if you have any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Margaret Paxton ( @SouthlandsIB) |
