Staff vs Students Volleyball Game
This afternoon, our students and staff played 3 games of friendly volleyball. Students from our Senior Volleyball Team rotated through the lineup to play against a rotation of staff. There were some excellent volleyball skills demonstrated by all players... and most of all, everyone participating and everyone watching, had fun!
Happy Holidays!
Today, our school came together in an assembly to hear our band and choir play a repertoire of music that included songs to celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa. Students then participated in a holiday sing-a-long.
On behalf of the staff at Silver Stream PS, we wish all of our families a very Happy Holiday! We hope you enjoy your time as a family and make some new memories. Be safe, travel safe and see you again on January 9.

Please dress for the weather
We would like to remind all of our parents/guardians that students need to arrive each day prepared to be outside for up to 40 minutes at recess. Consideration is given to keeping students indoors for a portion of time or the entire time when the temperature with or without the windchill reaches -20 C.
Students should arrive at school with hats, mittens, warm jackets and boots. For our younger students and students who intend to play in the snow, snow pants must be worn to keep them warm and dry.
Until we have reminded students of safe play on the hills, there is no sledding allowed.
Thank you.

Staying Healthy
Parents/Guardians,
With flu and cold season upon us, please remind your children at home about the importance of washing their hands with soap and water before eating and after using the washroom. At school, we encourage our younger students to sing the "happy birthday song" in their head to make sure they wash their hands long enough.
If your child is ill or has a fever or other symptoms of illness, please keep him/her at home until well enough to come to school to help keep all of us healthy.
We will be reminding students at school about the importance of washing their hands, coughing and sneezing into their elbow and not sharing food to stay healthy.
Thank you.

Swiss Chalet Lunch
This is a reminder to all parents who purchase lunches through Swiss Chalet for your child:
We strive to be an eco friendly school and currently the Swiss Chalet lunch has created excessive garbage at our school. To reduce the garbage, students have been given a bag to take home their leftovers from lunch. They can also put any food waste in our green bin and put the remaining plastic container(s) in the recycling bin. Although students are reminded through announcements every Wednesday prior to lunch, the amount of garbage continues to be problematic.
We are asking for all parents to please speak with your child about disposing of their Swiss Chalet lunch appropriately ( as above).
We do need to decrease the amount of garbage it generates or we will unfortunately need to cancel the lunch program.
We appreciate your support and thank you for your understanding.
