February message from ACES
Hello Alpenglow Families,
Happy February and we hope you are all keeping warm with your families as this cold snap rolls through. The Winter Break and January brought us some beautiful days and into the beginning of February we were happy to celebrate Candlemas with our students, teachers and volunteers. The classes dipped candles in the chilly weather welcoming the light that is beginning to return as spring moves its way closer.
Our Kindergarten and Grades registration for the 2019-2020 school year is now open and we had a great showing at our Info and Open House last week. Teachers were able to tell everyone a little bit about what goes on in each of the classes and parents took the time to view all the classrooms afterward and ask questions. If you know of anyone considering Alpenglow School next year, please forward them to ask questions of either our principal, Chris Rogers or Maureen.
In this newsletter you will find an update on our Natural Playground as well as what has been happening in the classrooms with Andrea Barnes, our Nature Immersion Specialist. There is also a great article to read from Dr. Monika Herwig called The Power of Space and Less.
Looking forward, our students will have no classes the week of Feb 18th-22nd, and on the 25th, order forms will go out for Missing Links Sausages. You will have until mid-March to order these fantastic chicken sausage, so start thinking about all those amazing flavours you can choose from! On Feb 27th, you can enjoy a glimpse into the Forest Play program in an evening with Dave Verhulst, and on March 9th, Lisa R. and her team are organizing another Spring Dance. This event full of music, silent auction items and loads of family fun is not to be missed! We hope to see you there!
