Changes coming to school district

Community news happening around the 108 Mile Ranch

School District #27 school board requests your input on the Options Report with a copy available at www.sd.27.bc.ca.

There are changes coming that will affect us all –  be a part of it.

The school requests all visitors report to the front desk every time you visit, no matter the reason. If you have to briefly stop to talk to a student you must also report to the office. Too many things can happen with visitors.

The Book Fair was successful, as the school was able to purchase more than $300 worth of books and put some money away for future purchases.

The school’s newsletter is now being sent out by e-mail.

If you did not receive a copy via e-mail and would like to do so,  contact tom.turner@sd27.bc.ca.

 

Important school dates

• Nov. 9 – Remembrance Day ceremony at 10:45 a.m.

• Nov. 12-16 – School not in session for Fall Break.

• Nov. 27 – Grade 6 volleyball tourney at Horse Lake Elementary School.

Safe arrival

If anyone can assist with the safe arrival program it would really help the school.

This involves about 30 minutes in the morning, contacting homes of students who are not in attendance and have not contacted the school.

 

Wrestling club

The 100 Mile Wrestling Club is looking for new members.

Practices are on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School (PSO) for grades 4 – 12 boys and girls.

 

AGM slated

108 Mile Ranch Community Association (RCA) annual general meeting is scheduled for Nov. 22 at 7 p.m. at the 108 Community Hall.

The guest speaker is Brian Battison who is the vice-president of communication and public relations for Taseko Mines Ltd.

Everyone is welcome to attend.

 

Earthquake

Did you feel the earthquake?

At approximately 8 p.m. Oct. 27 an earthquake of magnitude of 7.1 (Mwp) occurred in the Queen Charlotte region. Some homeowners in Williams Lake said they had felt the effects, with hanging lights and blinds swinging inside their homes.

A tsunami warning was issued for the West Coast.

Are you ready for an earthquake? Do you have emergency supplies ready? Do your flashlights work? Do you have a back up system in place?
