Do you see your baking here? Chances are, someone has gobbled it up! We were surprised and honoured when our call for donations of baked goods resulted in two fridges FULL of lovely treats. Over the next two days, student volunteers worked hard to set up and sell all the items. With Nan's help, all the money has been
totalled, and a whopping $587 is on its way to Haiti. Thanks to Grandpa Bob for this great photo - and for all his patronage at the bake sale table!! |

| Olympic Torch Events Parkview students played a prominent role in welcoming the Olympic torch to Sicamous. Students in grades 4 through 7 performed three Olympic-themed songs, at both the afternoon opening ceremony, and the evening grand finale. They were led by Mrs. Saul-Fowler, and accompanied by Mr. Smith on piano and guitar. Other students signed O Canada, lit by black lights and wearing white gloves. Mrs. Forry taught all the signs and led this group. A couple of our students wore their cadet uniforms and marched the flag in and out. And the beautiful lanterns that glowed all around town were decorated with care by Parkview kids. A big thank you to the District of Sicamous, who provided a warm pair of bright red Olympic mittens to each and every Parkview student!

| Multi-age Colour Groups Feb. 5 About once a month we mix things up at the school, and spend part of a day in "multiage" groups - students from K through 7 have a chance to get together and do various activities. The idea is to foster caring relationships amongst students of all ages at Parkview. This Friday, February 5th, we will spend an afternoon in these colour groupings, doing all manner of pseudo-Olympic events. It should be just the antidote to a rainy February!

| School Supplies for the Dominican One of our students has begun a campaign to collect school supplies for students in the Dominican Republic. She will be coming around to classrooms to talk to students, and you may see a letter from her in your child's backpack. Way to go, Janine!
