ADVENT HAMPERS

It's that time of year again for Advent Hampers!

Each class in the school is assigned a family, to whom they will be donating hygiene items and small gifts to.

Our grade 6 class will be donating to a small family of 4. There is a mother, a girl in grade 5, a little boy in grade 3 and a little girl in kindergarten.

As a class, we have brainstormed possible items and gifts which would be relevant to that family. Students can write their name next to the item(s) they would like to bring in, on this google spreadsheet.

The collection for the hampers will start this week, and go until December 17th. We will also be having a Christmas Spirit Day on Friday, December 8th, where students can bring a small donation to dress up in their Christmas cheer! All donations will go towards the Advent Hampers.

Thank you again for your ongoing support!

Grade 6 White Elephant Sale

Our Grade 6 students at St-Cecilia will be running our 5th annual White Elephant Sale on Friday, December 15th, 2017.

We will be happy to accept donations of gently used, clean items anytime now up until December 14th . Categories include: books, toys, CDs, movies, puzzles, games, Christmas knickknacks, jewellery (no used earrings please) , crafts and household items. We will not be accepting clothing, footwear or stuffed animals.

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.

With the help of teachers and parent volunteers, the students do the work of collecting, sorting, pricing, and selling items that have been donated. Students are invited to bring a loonie or two from their allowance to purchase and wrap items. Grade 6 students help the younger students shop and it is always fun for everyone.

The Grade 6s are very excited about this initiative and it is a wonderful leadership opportunity for them. You never know, mom or dad might even get a Christmas gift from this amazing sale.
