IN ANDAROUND SNOWRIDGE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

CARE UPDATE

In late January and early February Snowridge
held two information meetings for parents
about the CARE Program. This program tries
to train children to deal with potential instan-
ces of sexual abuse. The parent turn out to
the two formal presentations as well as the
informal meetings during the working day was
quite good. Based on the request forms sub-
mitted by parents and the comments made
during the meetings, the school has decided
to procede with the CARE Program at the grade
one and Kindergarten levels.

MARCH BREAK

The last day of School before the Spring Break
will be Friday, March 13th. On that day only,
school will be dismissing early at 2:00 P.M.
to facilitate travel connections for parents and
staff. Classes will resume at 9:00 A.M. on
Monday, March 23rd.

LOST AND FOUND

One of the most surprising things about a school
is the number of items that appear in its “‘lost
and found box’’. At this moment Snowridge’s
lost and found includes such things as three
sets of relatively new running shoes, an almost
new down filled ski jacket, uncounted . mittens
and toques, as well as underwear, socks, tee-
shirts ... Parents are invited to visit the Snow-
ridge lost and found and claim the long lost
articles of clothing which have not come home
with their children.

PARENT ADVISORY MEETING

The monthly meeting of the Parents’ Advisory
Committee will be held in the Snowridge Li-
brary at 7:30 P.M. on Wednesday, March 11th.
All PAC Meetings are open to all parents and
community members so please feel free to attend.
One of the main items on the March meetings
agenda will be Mrs. Debbie Gabel’s report on

her participation in a recent British Columbia
Teachers’ Federation sponsored workshop which
dealt with Parent Committee roles in Educa-
tion.

ACTIVITY AFTERNOONS

The Activity Afternoons commenced on Fri-
day, February 13th with children participating
in one of sixteen activities sponsored by staff
and parents. The activities range from Ama-
teur Radio (the students spoke with an opera-
tor in London, Ontario), through Squash (Kath-
erine Lantaigne trounced Jason Hebert), Cross
Country Skiing (Damian McGuinness is murder-
ing our skiis), and Cooking (Crystal Carlick
helped Pieter John make pizza hors d’oeuvers)
to Make Up (Sasha Poitras became elegant)
and Skidoo Safety (Jason Hardy vowed never
to jump a skidoo again). The Activity After-
noons will run each Friday afternoon ending
on March 6th.

A CONCERN FOR PARENTS

In recent weeks a couple of problems regard-
ing the habits of children have come to the
attention of the Snowridge Staff. These pro-
blems are not really a Snowridge concern but
more of a Parent concern as the problem occurs
off the school yard and often out of school
hours. It seems that a number of our children
have been watching television ads and learned
that if they buy lottery tickets they can win
all sorts of money. What children have not
learned from their study of advertisements
is that they can also lose a great deal of money
in the process. How is this a problem? It seems
that some children have been spending lunch
and other monies on lottery tickets. Also the
rare winners celebrate their good fortune by
treating all their friends to a round of gum
and candies. In some respects this is all humour-
ous but | doubt that, most parents. are aware
of how their children are spending their pocket
and lunch money. It also raises some concern
about the practice of making Lottery Tickets
available to young children who may lack the
judgement necessary to properly evaluate such
consumer products. You may-wish to raise
this issue with your children as a preventative
measure.
