Hello Gray Families,

It is time for our 7th connectedness activity! Please remember that all of these activities are optional, but encouraged. We are a great community and even though we are physically distanced from one another, we are not alone. By uniting through these activities, we show that we can still demonstrate togetherness.

This past week, we completed the teacher appreciation challenge. Many families showed their appreciation and support for all of these hard working educators. We have never felt more love or support and truly grateful to be a part of this loving and supportive community. Thank you everyone!

Activity:

As we move forward with our next activity, this one will be two fold – the first thing we would love to see families do is enjoy a picnic together. As the weather is supposed to be beautiful take some time (maybe on Mother’s day for all of the lovely Mothers/Grandmothers out there) to enjoy each others companies, step away from the tech and head outside for some food and laughter. Then please pick up that tech, take a photo and send it to me at pklassen@deltasd.bc.ca.

The second part of this task is more of a fundraising aspect to support those in our community who are in need. The Delta School District has joined up with the Delta Fire Fighters to raise money for our Food Security program. They have created a contest for all students within the district and you can find more information at this link: http://www.deltafirefighters.com  or on this downloadable document: DSD:Fire Figher Contest Info

Participation is all voluntary, but for every entry that the Fire Department receives, they will donate $10, up to a total of $10,000. This could make a huge difference in the lives of families within our own community. I encourage you to take part and colour one of the pictures, or write in a submission.

We hope everyone has a lovely week! As usual, please continue to check your emails, as teachers will be connect and work with your families.

Have a lovely and safe weekend everyone.

All the best,

Mr. P. Klassen
