President's Message - February 2017 Newsletter


Before getting down to business, we’d like to extend our heartfelt thanks to our teachers and support staff as they continue to provide an exceptional learning environment for our kids throughout the administrative changes this year.  We wish Su-Anne well during her leave and we are grateful to Victoria Barlow for stepping up to provide leadership in the interim.

SPEAKING OF STEPPING UP…We are still looking for a “Key Communicator” to join our council this year.  Do you read the emails we all get from the CBE?  If so, you are already fulfilling the primary responsibility of the role!  This position monitors communication from the CBE, the Alberta School Council Association and Alberta Learning and highlights important information at our council meetings.  We also encourage this member to attend some of the CBE “council of councils” meetings when you think the topics are fitting.  There is no requirement to liaise with the CBE or other institutions, merely to share any information you deem appropriate.

MMMM, MEAT…Watch for updates about our next fundraiser with Spolumbo’s sausages and contact Jill Carlsen at carlsen.jill@gmail.com if you are able to help sling sausages.  Also, don’t forget to support Rosemont Elementary School when you order your Mabel’s Labels.

COMING UP…At our next School Council and Fundraising Society meetings on March 15 at 6:30, we will be brainstorming extra-curricular programming and fundraising for the 2017-2018 school year.  If you have ideas or would like to participate, you are encouraged to attend.

Can’t make the meeting?  Feel free to forward ideas/questions to any of the Council or Fundraising executive (listed on the school council blog ‘About Us’ page accessible through Rosemont School’s website) or directly to our fearless leaders:
Jodi Hughes, Council Chair at hugjodi@gmail.com
Daniel Collins, Fundraising President at Dcollins7@gmail.com

Happy Family Day – see you at the meeting in March!
