Writers Workshop

The Writers Workshop

presented by Bryan Gidinski

Monday, April 14, 2008

6:30 pm – 8 pm at Chaffey Burke School

History has taught us that the pen is mightier than the sword, so here’s a chance for parents and students (grade 1 – grade 7) to participate in an exciting WRITING WORKSHOP.

Led by our very own grade 5/6 teacher, Mr. Gidinski, parents will receive tips to help their children improve their writing skills. You will learn some strategies to try out at home to encourage your child to write in fun and meaningful ways, and develop good writing skills. You will also see how students are assessed using the performance standards.

Mr. Gidinski will offer lots of fun activities that parents and child(ren) can do together. Come for some laughter and learning. Help your children become stronger writers. It’s a lifelong skill.

We welcome everyone to attend the Workshop, but space is limited. Register by filling out the form and return it to the office by April 11. We encourage parents where English is not their first language to attend as well, as we will be providing a minimal level of translation.

Babysitting will be provided for preschoolers and kindergarten students.

Playground Grant

We are the proud recipient of a $17,000 playground grant from the BC Gaming Commission. This is very exciting! We can continue with our plan to purchase equipment for phase 2 of our primary playground. Hopefully, we can have the new equipment installed over the summer, ready for September. We’ll keep you posted.

I want to thank everyone for their continued support, as we focus on a project that means so much to our children.
