Krispy Kreme Fundraiser

Do you like donuts? Do you like helping out the school community?!  

Then we’ve got some delicious news for you… 

The fundraising society is hosting a Krispy Kreme fundraiser!  

$11 per dozen of donuts and $2.00 per box goes back to the school.  

How it works:  

  • Click on the link   Treat yourself! 
  • Fill out the preorder form  
  • Send your payment via E-transfer to samwshawcasino@gmail.com 
  • Pick up your yummy donuts on November 27th during the parent teacher conferences!  

Don’t like donuts but still want to help out?

You can still send an etransfer, just make a note that you don’t need donuts.  

All pre order forms must be completed by the 20 of November.   

Please connect with your child(ren) about their lunches and snacks. 

More and more students are coming without anything to eat and are seeking food from the office. We know there are extenuating circumstances and some students may need the school help supply lunches.  Please do not hesitate to reach out to administration if assistance is required for providing food.

Physical Education goes outside all year long!

Please ensure that your child has warm winter clothing at school.  Many students are attending without jackets (and some are still wearing shorts!). If your child requires warm winter outerwear (jackets, snowpants, boots) please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Sheldrick (kasheldrick@cbe.ab.ca) or Ms. Kerry (kagreen@cbe.ab.ca). We have a selection of gently used & donated items that can be distributed to students in need.  

REMINDER

Relaxed entry starts at 8:45am.  Many students are showing up before 8:30am.  Although the weather has been warm enough in the mornings to wait outside, the cooler more wintery weather is upon us.  Students should not be showing up before relaxed entry 

Band Association Purdy's Chocolate Fundraiser is ON!

Sales are open until November 25.  For more information, visit our website: https://samuelwshaw.cbe.ab.ca/news/purdy-s-chocolate-fundraiser-20251031184356
