Ms. Rauser's Class Parents: We have found the owner to the funds found on the floor yesterday. Thank you! 

We have one parent volunteer to help us out with getting our art journals ready and we would love to have one or two more to help out.  If you can come in either tomorrow or Thursday to help out, please let Ms. Rauser or Mrs. Cooper know.

Please remember to book your time for Meet the Teacher on Thursday, September 18.  To book your conference  go to http://www.cbe.ab.ca/Parents/fees.asp  click on MY CBE ACCOUNT or you can go to our Cranston School Website at http://www.cbe.ab.ca/b408 and click on Meet the Teacher.

Dear Cranston Families,

Cranston School will be participating in the Terry Fox Celebration this year.  The focus of this year’s celebration will be participation and the awareness of the accomplishments of Terry Fox and the need to keep his dream alive.  This is our fifth anniversary of our school run.  For this reason this year’s goal is to raise $5000 as a school.  Students will have three opportunities to raise funds:

1.)   Bring a donation to the school to put in our fund raising jar.

2.)   Pledge forms – these will go home on Wednesday, Sept. 17

3.)   On-line pledges - go to http://www.terryfox.org  -click on donate to a student or school and follow the links.

Please only give what you feel comfortable with.  Every little bit counts!

            Our theme this year is “Spread the Word.”  Our students will be sharing their learning about Terry Fox in their classrooms.  This year our school run will be on Wednesday, September 24^th.  We would like to make this event a Family Run.  We encourage all families to join us at the school at 2:00 pm for a quick assembly and a special run through the Cranston pathways to the windmill.  We hope that the weather cooperates and we will be sharing some of our writing along the route.

            We are also having a Terry Fox Hot Dog Picnic on Wednesday, September 24^th.  If the weather cooperates we will be having our hotdogs outside with our classmates.  If the weather doesn’t cooperate we will have our picnic lunch in the school.  We ask that students bring a small blanket or a beach towel for their picnic lunch.  The money raised from the hot dog lunch will go to our fund raising effort.
