Dear Parents/Guardians, here are the Glen Ames News Updates for November 13th, 2015
REMEMBRANCE DAY ASSEMBLY
A heart-felt thank you goes out to all of you for your contributions and positive energy during
our Remembrance Day assembly this past Wednesday. I love the collaboration that goes into
this very important display of respect for those who sacrificed their lives for the freedoms we
have today. A special thanks to Mme. Patry, Ms. Kingelin, Mr. Libaque for displaying all of your
beautiful doves; the AV squad for giving us a voice; and the angels in the office for providing
poppies for our hearts.
Ms. Jurmain
GLEN AMES SURVEYS
Once a month, through the Weekly News Updates, we will be surveying parents/guardians on
various topics associated with Glen Ames. While we hope for a robust response each time,
these surveys are optional. They are also anonymous. They will take no more than a few
minutes to complete.
Thank you is extended to Mr. Briggs (Grade 7 English Teacher) for overseeing this project and to
the School Council for its support.
The purpose of these surveys is to involve our community in the decision making of our school.
By increasing parent engagement we increase student success.

QSP FUNDRAISER - THANK YOU!

great success! We raised $15,000 total sales and the profit funds (approximately $5000) we
receive will help to support Glen Ames Students.

up to 16 weeks to start. If you have any questions, please contact QSP directly at 1-800-6672536.
