Olympic Play Date Supplies, Spirit Day Tomorrow, and Rainfall Warning

Posted February 20, 2018

Good afternoon,

As our Olympic play date approaches on Friday, we are asking parents to help us with the following:

  1. Please send in a small thermos with your child, labelled with their name before Friday morning. Hot chocolate will be prepared and added to the thermos, so that your child can enjoy it at one point during the afternoon. We are hoping to keep waste to a minimum at our hot chocolate station. So please send in a thermos if you have one. All thermos will be returned by the end of the afternoon.
  2. The committee needs a number  of small items to keep costs low for the play day. If you have the following, could you please send the items into Mrs. Papavasiliou (PapaV) in the office: empty toilet paper rolls, the small lids off the squeezable yogurts and apple sauces, 4L milk jugs (emptied and cleaned), and mini hockey sticks (labelled with your child’s name so they can be returned). If you have miracle bubbles at home and would like to donate them to CMES, please send them in as well. 

We are hopeful that our play date will go ahead as planned, however, we are watching the weather carefully. Our alternate play date is March 2nd in the afternoon. No snow, icy fields, and soft fields would all be reasons why we would need to move the play date to the 2nd of March. We will make a call on Thursday and inform parents then.

Thank you for your support.

Spirit Day is tomorrow! Wear your jersey or Canada colours/ wear to welcome Katie Weatherston, 2006 Olympic Gold Medalist to CMES!

The large amounts of rainfall is expected to continue throughout today and tomorrow.  There is flooding in many areas as the frozen ground is not able to absorb the water quickly enough. Please be advised that there may be roads, parking lots and play areas that are flooded and water ways may have high levels. Please caution your child to be careful and to avoid these areas. We are following our inclement weather policy here at CMES during recess.
