Dear Families, 

We’re looking forward to the Festival of Lights next Thursday, December 11th from 5:30 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.

Here are some reminders of winter activities: 

Festive Fridays 

We’re getting into winter-holiday mode and celebrating traditions from around the world! To help keep the spirit bright, we’ll be hosting Festive Fridays all month. Here are the details: 

Friday, Dec 12 – Festive Sweater Day 
Break out your brightest, coziest, or most festive sweater. 

Friday, Dec 19 – Sleepy Santa (PJs) Day 
Come comfy and cozy in your favorite pajamas. 

We’ll also enjoy some winter caroling with songs from around the world—non-faith-based and fun for everyone. We look forward to lively sing-alongs in the gym! 

Holiday Food Drive Dec 1st – 17th  

We are excited to host our Holiday Food Drive from December 1st to December 17th. During this time, students and families are invited to donate non-perishable food items to the Calgary Food Bank by bringing them to school and placing them in one of the collection boxes. 

A wish list of high-need items, along with a holiday-specific list, is provided below. Families who prefer to make a monetary contribution can also donate directly to the Calgary Food Bank by visiting: https://calgaryfoodbank.donorsupport.co/page/ValleyViewSchool 

Winter Festival of Lights 

The Festival of Lights Winter Celebration is an event for Valley View students and their families. We invite you to join us for some holiday fun! Activities include chalk art, winter beading, karaoke, holiday card making, and more! Students must be accompanied by their parent(s)/guardian(s).  We request that families bring a non-perishable food item to donate to the Calgary Food Bank when attending the Festival of Lights. 

Please see the flyer attached for full details!
