Hello Gray Families,

It is time for our 8th 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 family picnic challenge. I guess the joke is on me, as the weather did not suit a picnic week. Of course the one time I do something outside! Thank you to those who were able to make it work, and hopefully all of you find time throughout the summer months to do something you enjoy outside.

Activity:

As we move forward with our next activity, we will continue to promote the fundraiser for the Delta School District and Delta Firefighters (see the info below); however, we will also do a Gray specific activity. For this activity, we would like to see families use their creativity and create a family costume! Take the time this week to be silly with one another and create a family costume, take a photo and send it to me at pklassen@deltasd.bc.ca. We look forward to seeing what you come up with!

As a reminder, 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
