Greetings, Southlands Families.
We emailed a newsletter home on Friday afternoon. Please let us know if you did not get it. Of special note: the Southlands Safety Patrol begins on Monday. Please watch for Safety Patrol Students who will be at the crosswalk at 37th and Camosun. They will have white hard hats, vests and red STOP signs. These students have been trained by a special constable from the VPD. We thank them for their service!
Student Leadership will be winding up the Fall Food Drive on Wednesday. We have set a goal of 250 items to represent every student and staff member at our school. Thank you for helping us reach our goal. The Student Leadership Club meets every Tuesday at 12:15 and anyone can join!
Friday is a Provincial Professional Day. Our teachers and support staff members will be joining online learning opportunities with other educators from all over the province. Teresa and I will be in the office.
Lastly, I am looking for a baby who will be 4 -5 months old in January. I teach a program called Roots of Empathy. We invite a parent and baby to “teach” a class of students about the baby’s temperament and development, once a month in a series of visits. There will, of course, be a plan to do this virtually if the pandemic is still an issue. If anyone you know had a baby in September or October, please encourage them to get in touch with me if they are at all interested in learning more. We find it is a rewarding experience for everyone.
Thank you all, and as always, if you have any questions of concerns, please get in touch.
Margaret Paxton
Principal (@SouthlandsIB)

In this world of social distancing, if you are ordering groceries online from Stong's, please pick "Southlands Elementary School" from the drop down menu so that the PAC can earn a rebate. Thank you for your support!
