SCHOOL COUNCIL CORNER – EVENTS & ANNOUNCEMENTS
February is the month of love and kindness! With Pink Shirt Day coming up (Feb 28), we are encouraging families to take a moment with your student and have them write out some words of encouragement for our fabulous ROS teachers & staff or to someone else important in their lives.
March is Literacy Month at ROS! Help us celebrate literacy throughout the month with fun at-home activities, a children's book drive and sale, an evening at the Calgary Public Library, and reading as part of our Read-a-Thon - where kids can win prizes just for reading and fundraising for our school. Students will receive an information package on March 1 with information.
