Thetis Island Elementary Field Update

Dear families and community members,

I would like to share with each of you an update regarding our school field. Two people have come forward to accept responsibility for their actions and the impact they have caused not only to our school but within the community as well. Both of the people involved are very remorseful for their actions and recognize that they need to make the situation right.  All of the information has been passed onto the school board and the Director of Operations. In the Spring, when the fields are drier, the grounds crew will come over along with the Director  tosurvey the situation and prepare a plan to restore the fields.   There is no cost to the parent group or community members for the restoration of the fields as this is school district property. 

Thank you for your strong sense of community and your willingness to support and care for our school.

Sincerely,

Brenda Stevenson

Principal

Christmas Bazaar ~ family thanks

I wanted to thank the community for coming out to the craft sale and supporting the children selling items.

I want to extend warm, sincere,  gratitude to all those who lavished my children with attention (and/or little gifts). The children experienced a truly magical weekend and are still talking about it.

Thank you so very much,

Airi Rogers

Christmas Hampers

For the past couple of years I have been involved in the Christmas hamper program at Cowichan Neighbourhood House.  It is a complicated undertaking to sort out all the donations that come in (we have lots of teddy bears and soap). From past experience it was found to be that there were certain gaps in donations especially teen boys and elderly. CNH developed the "adopt a family" to fill the gaps. Here are links to descriptions of the program

If you would like to help you can contact me or Neighbourhood House, at the old fire hall in Chemainus.
