Sports Day June 27th

We are so excited to be able to host a Lake Bonavista School Sports Day in 2022! Sports Day will be taking place on Friday, June 24 from 8:30am-12:15pm. On this day, students will begin in the gymnasium for a pep rally and then travel with their class and their neighbouring class outside to participate in group activities and games. Parent Council has generously provided healthy snacks all students to enjoy for the end of the day!

 

Here are some things to keep in mind:

• Wear athletic clothing and shoes
• Pack a water bottle and snack (we will have two snacks this day)
• WEAR sunscreen and bug spray (please avoid sending aerosol sprays to school)
• Despite the forecasted rain, we will be moving forward with Sports Day unless there are thunderstorms, please dress accordingly

 

Thanks for your support!

FITNESS BINGO AT LBS!

 

All of the classes at Lake Bonavista School are participating in a fitness bingo challenge from February 23-April 8! We wanted to share the bingo card with you so you can continue the fun at home! At school, each time a class completes a ‘blackout’ bingo card, they will be added to a draw and entered to win bonus recess time! If your family complete all of the exercises on a bingo card at your house, please notify your classroom teacher and your child’s class will receive an additional entry in the draw.

 

Each exercise on the bingo card is to be completed in an interval style - 20 seconds of the exercise, followed by 10 seconds of rest. In order to cross the activity off of your bingo card you must complete a minimum of 4 interval sets. If some of the exercises are unfamiliar, please ask your child to teach you the movement.

 

Feel free to check out the video below for a further explanation of the bingo challenge.

Fun lunch is an optional event. You can begin ordering this Monday, January 10th.

For parents new to Healthy Hunger, you will need to create an account on the Healthy Hunger website and then add your student to the correct school and class from the drop-down menus.

Ordering Lunches

Once vendors are confirmed they will be added to the calendar for your selection. You can order for as few or many days as you like. You can place and pay for orders for multiple days and multiple children all at once. Payment is done online through Healthy Hunger. No payments are made to school.

Deadline for ordering is 5 days in advance.
For Thursday meals, orders must be placed by 11:59 pm on Saturday in order to give the vendors time to order and prep. You will receive confirmation of your order, if you do not get a confirmation email it is possible your order didn’t go through. Log back in to double check and avoid the confusion.

  

Cancelling an order

If you need to cancel a lunch you can do that until the cut-off period which is 5 days before each lunch and get a refund. With more absences due to symptoms cancelling in advance may not always be an option.

Lunch Delivery

On the specified day lunch is delivered to the school for the students. We will require a few volunteers to help distribute to the classes, so please ensure you are on our volunteer contact list if you are available to help.

Please remember to pack a snack and water in addition to the fun lunch order. Please pack a complete lunch if you did not order that day.

Missed Fun Lunches

For those times you miss the option to cancel, and your child won’t be there due to sickness or any other reason, we ask that you please contact the school by 11:30am on the day of Fun Lunch to choose an option.
Your options are:

• -  Pick the lunch up by the end of the day.

• -  Send it home with a sibling.

• -  Donate it to the staff room.

  We are unable to give these lunches to another child without their guardian’s consent. Any lunches that are not claimed by the end of the day will be composted.

  Online schooling

  In the event your class or the whole school is moved to online learning before the cut-off date, we can cancel the orders and receive refunds. If the move online occurs within the 5 days leading up to the lunch, the process is different. If the restaurant has not begun making the orders, the orders will be cancelled and a credit for that amount will be kept in your account for another order.

  Questions

  Please contact the funlunchlbs@gmail.com for any questions regarding Fun Lunch orlbsvolunteercoordinator@gmail.com regarding your volunteer status.

Team Seas Bottle Drive

 Hello Families,

 

From December 13-16, the Grade 4/5s will be collecting as many refundables as we can before sending our fundraising money to #teamseas. They have done a great job so far educating other on the importance of recycling and the process refundables go through, when they are recycled and brought to the bottle depot. 

 

Next week will be our last push before we send our donation to #teamseas to help reduce the amount of waste in our oceans and river systems. 

 

The Refundable Drive will be held from Monday, December 13^th to Thursday, December 16^th . This is up to the students to collect, wash out, and bring to school their refundables. We ask that they are washed out and school appropriate. Each evening from the 13^th – 16^th the grade 4/5 teachers will take the refundables to the Bottle Depot in hopes we will meet the students’ goal of raising $100 which will result in 100 pounds of trash being taken out of the ocean. 

 

If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to email me. 

 

Have a great weekend!

Ms Mumford
