BOOK FAIR COMING SOON!

Dear Silver Stream Families,


We are holding our Book Fair from Wednesday September 26th to Monday October 1st. The goals of holding a school-wide event like this are to help make literacy fun, broaden our student’s horizons by offering a variety of books, and to reach a sales goal that would allow us to add a copious amount of books and resources for our students to use in our growing collection! At the Fair, you can pay with cash, any major credit card or a cheque made out to: Silver Stream Public School.

We could really use your support in helping to run this event. Volunteers would be much appreciated, as there are many different tasks that need to be done:

1. Set up/Take down of the fair

2. Greeters

3. Cashiers

4. Support Staff to help students and keep the areas organized

If you are interested in volunteering, please email Mr. Maisel (david.maisel@yrdsb.ca) with your availability (date and time of day) from September 26th to October 1st. Once volunteers are determined, a schedule will be made and shared with those involved. Please note that volunteers will be needed from 8:05-10:15, and 11:55-12:55 every day.

Furthermore, a highlights package outlining what will be at the Book Fair will be sent out one week prior to the event.

The Book Fair will be open on the same night as our Curriculum Night, the evening of September 27th! We will need volunteers for this night as well, from around 5:00 to 8:00/8:30.

We can’t wait to get the fun started!

Thanks in advance for your help,

Mr. Maisel

The Lunch Lady!

Rosh Hashanah

Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year and begins a solemn ten-day period of contemplation and selfexamination that ends with the Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur. Rosh Hashanah is the first of the High Holy Days, and the anniversary of the creation of Adam and Eve. Rosh Hashanah is a two-day celebration beginning on the first day of Tishrei - the first month of the Jewish lunar year. According to the Hebrew calendar, days begin at sundown. Hence Rosh Hashanah begins the evening before Rosh Hashanah day.

These High Holy Days are the most religious days of the year for many Jews, and is a time for reflection and atonement. Many families attend synagogue, praying for peace among nations, among peoples, and within themselves in the coming year. Many people have a special meal where blessings are recited over different symbolic dishes including apples, honey, dates, and pomegranates.

To all those celebrating Rosh Hashanah, We would like to wish you and your families a very happy celebration.
