Hallowe’en Costumes

Students are encouraged to dress up if they choose.  Some rules for costume wearing:

• No gore or bloody costumes
• Age-appropriate costumes only
• Face paint is okay as long as we can tell who you are
• No masks that cover the whole face
• No scary clowns
• No weapons as part of the costume

A Costume Parade will take place in the gym if it is too rainy outside to have it in the hockey arena.

Pumpkin Carving Contest

Don’t forget to bring your carved pumpkin for the Pumpkin Carving Contest which takes place on Hallowe’en, too.  It is sponsored by our David Cameron PAC with prizes for all students who have an entry.  Tables for the display of carved pumpkins will be outside undercover near the portables.  If the weather is really poor, we will have the tables set up in the foyer outside the office.

S.O.A.R. Certificates for October

We have started recognizing students who are displaying the attributes of S.O.A.R. at David Cameron.  We have a bulletin board set up outside the main office with pictures and certificates of those students who have been recognized.

The acronym S.O.A.R. stand for:

• Being Safe
• Taking Ownership
• Showing Acceptance
• Being Respectful

Students recognized at last Friday’s assembly are:

Wes K. for taking ownership
Wesley S. for being safe
Ellie E. for showing acceptance
James W. for taking ownership
Charlotte B. for always SOARing
Charlee S. for listening and being safe
Carolina E. for always SOARing
Arthur S. for showing acceptance
Linkon M. for being safe

Congratulations to those students.  You help make David Cameron the great school it is!

Photo Retake Day

November 18 is Photo Retake Day.  Mark it on your calendars.

Hello families of amazing David Cameron students! Mr. Borland here again.

It was so great to meet so many of you during our meet the teacher night (my apologies if I was too busy to get talk to you)! Our Winter Celebration of Music is very early this year (Thurs, Dec 1^st) so I have posted the class songs as well as the David Cameron Choir songs for students to sing and learn the words here:

I am really looking forward to actually have our first live winter performance since 2019!

Remembrance Day Assembly (Thurs, Nov 10^th)– If your son or daughter is in the David Cameron Choir, please remember to have them wear a black shirt for the performance as we Honour our Veterans (poppy stickers will be provided).

Choir meets outside every Thursday at lunch recess and there is still a little time to join before the performances.

Rock Band Update – our amazing principal has offered to lend us her drum kit so we are still looking for 2 electric guitars, 2 guitar amps and a keyboard amp so we can start rockin’ 😊! Any instruments you can lend or donate to the music program are much appreciated (just no accordions)!

Mr. Nicholl and I are really looking forward to this very Musical time of year!

Sincerely,

Giles Borland
