WE NEED YOUR STUFF!!!

Dear Parents:

This year the Grade 6 students and teachers are holding our school’s third annual White Elephant Sale on Friday, December 11th, to raise funds for our advent hampers as well as our end of the year field trip. 

We are asking the St. Cecilia School community to donate gently used, clean items prior to December 10th.  The Grade 6 students and teachers will be sorting donations into different categories to make shopping more convenient.  Categories include:  books, toys, stuffed animals, CDs, movies, puzzles, games, Christmas knickknacks, jewelry (no used earrings please), crafts and household items.  We will not be accepting clothing or footwear.  Last year this was a success due to the excitement of the students as they found bargains to bring home and the generosity of the families who took the time to find items at home suitable for our sale.

We would also greatly appreciate donations of wrapping paper, tissue paper , ribbons, and gift bags.  This is in keeping with our gospel value of stewardship of the environment. Remember that ‘one person’s junk is another person’s treasure’.

With thanks in advance,

The Grade 6 Teachers

Mes Besoins pour Apprendre le Français!

Our class discussed our 'needs' in our classroom to make for a successful year in French. In large groups, we labelled all the important things we use that will make us successful French learners.
