SVS Christmas Hampers
The Christmas season is upon us! It is a time many families look forward to the gathering of family and friends, the sharing of gifts and a warm meal. Unfortunately, not all families are able to participate in many of these activities which most of us take for granted.

In previous years, the SVS staff and community have had the pleasure of being able to help some of our SVS families during this time. We will again be supporting a few of our families by providing them with gift cards. The most asked for are to SuperStore and Walmart but any card will be accepted.

You can show your support by purchasing a gift card and dropping it off at the office by Friday, December 13th. We will then distribute the cards to the families in the last week of school. Thank you for your generosity and care.

The Martian Movie
To kick off our next science unit (Sky Science), we would like to show the movie the Martian (2015), during the last week of school before break. One of NASA's next major missions will be to Mars and this movie accurately demonstrates many of the challenges facing astronauts. All of the teachers have seen the movie and there is some swearing and other scenes that parents want to be aware of. Please read the link below as it outlines these.

Please let us know if you do not want your child to watch this movie and we will make other arrangments for them.

Calgary Food Bank
From now until December 17th we will be collecting non-perishable food for the Calgary Food Bank.  Foodbank boxes are now placed around the school to accept any and all donations.
