From the Principal's Desk::

Well, the final week before school lets out for the holidays is upon us!  There are several special events happening this week (as well as the weeks right after Christmas) which I'll highlight here:

Christmas Program - Mon at 1:30 pm and Weds at 7 pm.  Parents of JK children, please note the special times for these events. Classes will still run on Tue and Thu, but Mrs Groeneweg will have a calmer pace those days... This year’s program is called “Greetings From The Heart”.  Come for a time of spoken word, drama, song and instrumentals as we hear the Christmas story being told through the eyes of children.  May we celebrate the birth of our Saviour and enjoy a time of bringing Glory to God.  Refreshments will be served after the program.

Hot Dog lunch - Weds 19 Dec, orders due Dec. 17. Please see the order form.

School Carolling - we will be going out into our community from 1 - 3 pm on Thu 20 Dec.  Grades 5 -8 will carol along main street, and have hot chocolate at the Perc, while the primary wing will carol at Heritage Place and return to ICS.  We could use one or two parent volunteers for each classroom - please drop a note to your child's teacher if able!

School Skate - we will finish the week with a skate at the East Elgin Community Centre at 1:45 pm -2:45.  SK through grade 2 must wear helmets, all should wear gloves.  Students may dress in Christmas colours, if they like.  Skates may be rented at the rink for $2 if needed.  Parents are welcome to accompany their JK children to skating if they wish.

New Parent Information Evening - talk us up with friends and family!  Our annual registration event is the evening of Fri 18 Jan!

Parent Education Night - as parents, keep on top of what your children are doing. Mark your calendars for the evening of Wed Jan 23.   This year's focus is on some of the technology being used for literacy and communication.  Choose a workshop on Accelerating Parents (use of the Accelerated Reader program) or An Evening at the Docs (use of Google Docs).

We want our special events to be a celebration of the season, and of the gift of Christian education we have here at ICS.  May we, with Mary, treasure up the events of the Christmas holiday, and ponder the meaning of Christ's birth in our hearts.

in Christ,
//Keith Cameron//

Da uns schlägt die rettende Stund.

From the Principal's Desk::


Today at chapel, we celebrated the first week of Advent!  Students are now busy memorizing lines and songs for our Christmas program, and decorations are in our halls.  We look forward to celebrating Jesus' birth as a school.

In line with our term 2 theme of 'living in community', we want to emphasize several routine things we do as part of that call.  We are collecting mittens and hats for distribution by the Optimist Club, and non-perishable goods for the Aylmer Corner Cupboard food bank.  The collection points are the trees in our front entry.  As a school, let's think generously about others in our community.  This is a great teaching opportunity!  I would encourage you to involve your children in selecting items, shopping for them and bringing them in.  As well as canned goods, diapers are often in short supply at the Corner Cupboard.  Any items which you would enjoy (except for peanuts) are welcome!  We have until 19 December, let's show our care for those around us in need.

in Christ,
//Keith Cameron//

Praying for our Families:  Last week Thursday we prayed for Darrell & Helen Klassen, and Rob & Alice Kraan.
Praying for our Staff:  This week we will pray for Mrs. Drop and continued healing for Mr. TenBruggencate.

Update on Mr T:  Mr TenBruggencate joined the boys at their last game before the tournament, even refereeing for a short while. His mobility is greatly improved, though the pain remains strong. Keep him in your prayers for healing and patience.  He may return to very part-time work (a period or two daily) in end-Jan, perhaps moving to 50% after a month or so, and full-time teaching perhaps after the March Break timeframe.  We remain thankful for Ms Jones who continues to teach our gr 7/8 class.

Attached to this Journal is the new updated Bus Transportation calling list.  With the recent route changes with Mr. Vannoord and Mrs. de Dreu a change was necessary.  Also a few numbers have been changed.

Reminders:  Samko Toy Sale Fundraiser:  Please send your receipts to school by Thurs., Dec. 20th, so we can claim our refund. 

                      Tea Towels:  Are you willing to donate a new or used (but in good condition) tea towel to re-stock our kitchen supply?

T.R.I.P Orders are due tomorrow Thurs., Dec. 6, pick up on Thurs., Dec. 13 in the afternoon.  Full or partial payments for big orders are most appreciated because this program runs a ‘very tight ship’ financially and we need the necessary funds to purchase gift cards.  Faxes orders are welcome!  Please mail in or drop off cheque at school as soon as possible.  Thank you.  Grace & Theresa

"SILENT NIGHT" PERFORMANCE OPPORTUNITY:
Local Christian artist Derrick Drover would like to extend the invitation to ICS students to sing with him.
Tucked away in the beautiful village of Richmond (about 12 minutes from Aylmer - toward Tillsonburg) is a long standing, yet cozy stone church.  The "Richmond United Church", (53895 Church St.).  The circular interior boasts incredible architecture, and sound acoustics and the perfect place, for a concert.
He would like to end his Christmas concert on Friday Dec 14 @7:00 p.m. with the students singing "Silent Night" as they have learned it already (4 languages).  Please call Derrick at 519-765-4990 to sign up and receive further instruction, or you may sign by returning the “participation form” at the end of the Journal.  Please hand your form in to the school office.  Derrick needs to know how many students will be participating to be able to make this happen.
Come sing together, and hear some of your favourites along with new inspirational music for the season.  A night for the whole family!
