D e a r S t . M i c ha e l ’ s P a re n t s a n d G ua r d i a ns :
Already one month has gone by in the school year and things here at St.
Michael’s are in full swing.
The first month has shown that our school
will be a busy place of school lessons, sharing with friends and learning
more about ourselves and the world we are a part of.
Students and staff have been busy with a number of curricular and extracurricular activities, whether praying at school celebrations, competing
at sports events, canoeing at York Lake, or working on class assignments.
It is also great to see a wonderful turnout of parents and guardians for
many of these activities.
This certainly indicates that you are truly
interested and want to be involved in your child’s education. There will
be many opportunities for you to continue to be involved and we
encourage you to join with us for any activities that may fit your
schedule.
Most importantly, we would like to extend our wishes that you have a
wonderful Thanksgiving. On Friday, Oct. 9 th at 12:45pm, we will celebrate
our Thanksgiving Liturgy with Father Ray. This will provide us with the
opportunity to reflect with thanks the many gifts we have received. We
would love to have you come and join us in prayer and Thanksgiving.
We also hope that you and your family are able to make time throughout
the Thanksgiving weekend to enjoy a moment of quiet in our busy lives,
Inside this issue:
and to recognize God’s many gifts and blessings.
Forms, Leadership
Wishing everyone a Blessed Thanksgiving.

Starting Monday, October 5 , our School Leadership Team will be
requesting donations for our FCC food drive. To help us collect for the food drive, we
will be sending home paper bags with the youngest child in your family at St. Michael’s
School. You are asked to place non-perishable food items in this bag for your child to
return to school with. The food will go to our local food bank here in Yorkton. Filling up
the bag with non-perishable food items is completely optional, but we encourage
students to participate and give back to their community. This campaign will end
October 9th, so be sure to donate to this worthy cause.

Dear parents/guardians,
Phone: (306) 786-0600
Influenza season will soon be here once again! Did you know that
children are one of the most at risk groups for picking up the
influenza virus? Influenza is easily spread by coughing, sneezing or
direct contact with nasal and throat secretions. You need to protect
your child from the influenza virus every year! This vaccine is free and
recommended for all ages.
The influenza vaccine is the most effective in healthy children and
young persons. By immunizing as many children as possible, not only
do we protect children themselves, we also create a protective cocoon
around our elderly and those with chronic diseases who are equally or
more at risk but in whom the vaccine is less effective than in children.
Please consult your local paper in October for dates and locations of
various flu clinics or visit our website (www.sunrisehealthregion.sk.ca).
Help us keep you, your children, and our community healthy.
Thank you.
Your local Public Health Office
Some ideas of food items include: pasta products and rice, canned meats and
fish, dry and canned soups and vegetables, flour, breakfast cereal, fruit juices, pasta sauce,
beans and legumes, infant formula and baby food
Thank you for your support!

Parade of costumes – October 30 at 12:30 p.m. Parents
please try to encourage your child to select costumes
that are of good taste. Also -- remember to include
only one or two treats with your child’s lunch.
Every year St. Michael’s School has partnered up with
the school next door MC Knoll School to participate in
the annual Terry Fox Walk. We will be walking with MC
Knoll around 2:00pm on Friday October 2nd.. You are
more than welcome to join us!
Remember to bring comfortable
walking shoes and dress for the
weather!
Education week is:
OCTOBER 19th—23rd.
Halloween is fast approaching and the children are excited about their
costumes. As a staff, we have done some reflecting on the various costumes
that are out there that truly depict negative and violent themes. One of our
directives from administration is that “we must model and reinforce socially
respective behaviour so teaching and learning can take place in a safe and
caring environment”. The costumes that depict blood, gore, weapons and
violence create a negative image and engage children in conversations that are
not healthy. There are a lot of costumes that we can wear that create humour,
laughter and imagination. These are the types of costumes that we encourage
your child to wear this year. Costumes that depict a violent theme are not
allowed. Weapons, blood and gore are unacceptable accessories to the
costume and will not be allowed. If these are worn, we will ask the student to
remove the costume and/or accessories. Please respect our concern regarding
violent themes and inappropriate costumes. We wanted to share this information with families early to allow you plenty of time to plan for your child’s
costume.
Note: We have done some research on “fun” costumes and have supplied a
list for families to use as a guideline. Creating costumes from odds and ends,
old clothes, boxes, etc. can be fun, inexpensive and a family activity.
Examples: Fairy, Fireman, Pumpkin, Policeman, Scarecrow, Farmer, Ghost,
King, Bat, Princess, Various Animals, Witch, Frankenstein (“friendly”
monsters) Dragon
Have fun, be creative and let your imagination soar!

On Friday, September 18th, over 500 students from six different schools participated in the annual
Christ the Teacher Catholic School Division Cross Country Meet. Students, parents and staff were
blessed with a warm day that was perfect for running! Students from grades 1-8 participated in the
races that took place at Sacred Heart High School. The largest race had 112 runners!
We congratulate all the runners for taking part in the day!
