Important Information
NO SCHOOL MONDAY- Please be reminded that as per Premier Horgan’s announcement, all schools in BC will be closed on Monday for the National Day of Mourning for the death of the Queen. Our school, along with all catholic schools, public schools and the majority of independent and private schools will be closed as mandated by CISVA. We recognize that this may be hard for families where parents have to work and apologize for the inconvenience this has caused.
UNITED DAY- We will be having our first United Day on Tuesday. Students are invited to wear their gym strips or something comfortable for the Terry Fox walk in exchange for a small donation. All donations will go to Terry Fox Foundation. Bring an extra $1 for popcorn! Students will be walking on school property for the Terry Fox walk.
Photo day is on Wednesday- please make sure that your child is wearing a clean uniform and has their sweater with them. A reminder that girls are not permitted to wear makeup and hair accessories should be kept to a minimum and simple (no cat ear headbands, bright flashy headbands, …)
REMINDER- Friday Mass Day Lates- If you are late on Friday mornings, please take your child directly to the church where Mrs. Jangula will check your child in.
Grade 7 Camp- for their hard work in preparing and organizing a memorable Grade 7 camp this week- We had a lot of fun and the students represented CCS so well!
Foodbank Friday- Please do not bring any items for Friday Foodbank until our first Friday in October. We are only collecting on the First Friday of the month.

Maintenance Update
1. Thank you to all the parents who came to the September Workbee, the school and the grounds looked great! It is still pretty warm, but fall is on its way, which means lot of maintenance opportunities outside of workbees (who's excited about leaf raking??) Visit OnVolunteers to see what is available!
2. Do you specialize in trades or project planning? We have several projects/repairs coming up over the next little while and we need your help. If you have expertise to offer (either in the form of practical assistance or being available to advise/consult on your area of specialization), please introduce yourself via email at maintenance@cloverdalecatholicschool.ca
3. WANTED: people with a deep dislike of invasive plants, a love for wielding power tools, and a couple of hours of free time! Join the Blackberry Removal Squad as we fight to banish as many blackberry bushes as possible from the CCS/Precious Blood property before the middle of October. Please contact me via email (maintenance@cloverdalecatholicschool.ca) by Friday, September 23rd if you would like to be part of this team.
4. We are looking for another Outdoor Workbee Coordinator - sign up for an orientation meeting through OnVolunteers to see if the position is right for you!
Looking forward to working with you all!
