We are SO excited for our upcoming trip to Outdoor School next week, and have been busy preparing! Share with a family member what you are most excited about and any worries you have about Kamp Kiwanis.

Homework: Continue reading at home to prepare for your November book review. Remember, you will be assessing your November book review with a family member at conferences!

Reminder: 
We are collecting non-perishable food items for the Veteran's Food Bank this week! Please support this cause, and send non-perishable food items to school.

Our Remembrance Day Assembly is tomorrow at 10:45. Please invite your family members to attend! We will be collecting donations for poppies on Friday morning - all students will receive a poppy to wear for the assembly.

Vista Heights is a Calgary Reads School!
We are looking for volunteers to help us improve the confidence and ability of struggling young readers and to actively promote early literacy. We would be honoured to have you join our team. If you enjoy reading and have two or three hours each week to share with a child, we invite you to help us in our mission to help Calgary’s children gain literacy skills. For more information on how you can help, please visit the Calgary Reads website at www.calgaryreads.com or email info@calgaryreads.com or Ms. Toor atsktoor@cbe.ab.ca
