Christmas Fair update
I think it is safe to say that everyone who attended the fair last week thoroughly enjoyed it. I particularly loved the Dance Party! Also the crafts that the kids produced were amazing.
We are still waiting to finalize the monies and will relay the amount in the New Year.
A huge heart felt THANK YOU to our Special Events Christmas Fair Hosts in grade 4-5; Jess Howard, Mirjan Demmers, Cheryl Schreader, Shelley Clark, Jennifer Chiu, Nicky Owers. Also a huge THANK YOU to Suzanne Earle for leading the committee this year. Of course we can’t forget the parents who helped make the 11 amazing raffle baskets, signed up for 30 minute shifts on the night of the fair and the set up and cleanup crew. The school really appreciated the work done at the end of the night to put things back in order.
We should also send a big high five to the Ross Road kids who created some amazing little trinkets to be sold at the fair. Hopefully you are lucky enough to have some adorning your tree and/or home.
Mirjan Demmers was our onsite photographer and took many wonderful photos. I will be loading them onto social media at some point in the next week. If you have any pictures from the night please tag them #rossroadchristmasfair2016 on our Twitter and/or Facebook pages or even on Instagram (links below)
The fair would not have been a success had it not been for your dedication to making this a fabulous event so thank you again.
Other News
The card project this fall was a runaway success and raised $1,953.63 from Card Project orders. We will be donating 25% of this to a charity. More on this to come soon.

Volunteers Needed
Card Project – Deborah Clegg, our coordinator for this amazing project is handing the ropes to someone else after 5 wonderful years. We should mention it does NOT need to be run as a winter/Christmas theme and can be offered other times such as order delivery around Easter or Mothers’ Day. Communicating with principal, office staff and of course teachers is key to success. Also, the owner, Marcelle of the Card project is amazing to work with. If you are interested in learning more about this role please reach out to us at rossroadpac@gmail.com
Family Bingo night – One or two volunteers are needed to bring back bingo night at Ross Road. In addition to building community we are hoping to raise $500 to top up our annual Bike To School Week program in the Spring. Please reach out to us using our rossroadpac@gmail.com if you are interested and/or want more information.
Thank you to everyone for your time, energy and contributions and attendance.
Happy Holidays and see you all back in the flow of things on January 3rd.

Ross Road Christmas Fair This Friday
Unless you’ve been living under a candy cane for the last month, you probably know the Ross Road Christmas Craft Fair is nearly upon us. The school will be a bustle of activity and fun this Friday December 9th.
Thank you to everyone who has made gift donations for our activities – you’re terrific! However, we could still use a few more things — particularly Mystery Bags suitable for the older kids. Your help here will get Rudolph’s nose shining in appreciation.
Thank you also to everyone who has signed up to help run an activity during the fair. To those who will be volunteering their time on the night, kindly reference the map that will be posted in the school foyer to know where you need to be for your activity. If you haven’t had a chance to sign up yet to volunteer a half hour of your time, it’s not too late and Santa (and the kids) will thank you for it!
If you are bringing bake sale items, please deliver them directly to the gym on Friday morning or afternoon.
Finally, if you want to beat the line ups, tickets can be purchased in advance, from 8:30-9am and 2:30-3:15pm on Friday, from the school foyer. Tickets can also be bought amidst the chaos and fun of the fair itself, when you arrive that evening. Ticket sales during the fair will be in the Foyer and in the Gym.
We look forward to seeing everyone there!

Christmas Fair Update
The Ross Road Christmas Fair is fast approaching. The festivities will take place on Friday, December 9th, from 5-8pm. Come and get your kids hopped up on sugar and the Christmas spirit (and then head home, put them to bed, and enjoy some quieter Christmas cheer for yourself).
We have a variety of fun activities planned for the kids this year, but we need your help to make it all happen. We appreciate that your schedules are busy, especially at this time of year, but would be oh-so-thankful to all those who can donate a half hour of their time during the fair to make it a special evening for all the children. Santa will be watching, and this good deed might just be what some of us need to be moved from the naughty to the nice list this year.
Please visit the website below (no special registration required) and select a volunteer slot. New this year is the Storytime Room, intended for the younger children, which is a wonderful opportunity for a volunteer team effort from parents and their kids in grade 7.
