Going Grocery Shopping? Don’t forget to pick up your Sobey’s Gift Card at the school office!

Every dollar raised helps to provide funding for school programs, field trips and

more! The more money we earn the less you have to pay as a parent for these

valuable educational enhancements. The gift cards will be available till the end of

the school year.

The first family that purchases a total of $2000.00 worth of gift cards wins a family

photo session with Janet Horbacio Photography in Calgary. The session includes a

family portrait session and an 8 x 10 print.

This gift certificate is valued at $175.00!

Thank you! The Millarville Community Foundation would like

to thank all the casino volunteers that worked

Jan 3rd & 4th. We especially want to thank

Norma Dawson for organizing all the volunteers!

Also a big thank you to Grant & Jill Sanden for

helping coordinate the casino. We really

appreciate all the volunteers that help support

the Millarville Community School, Millarville

Sports Association, Community Library,

Preschool & Playschool. We are very fortunate

to live in such a wonderful community!

A Greener, Blue News!

We have decided to go green with our school’s

Blue Newsletter. Instead of printing over 600

pages each publication, an email will be

circulated with a digital copy in addition to it

being posted on our school’s website. Starting

on January 20th, only a limited number of paper

copies will be available for pick-up in the school

office.

It’s not too late!

Lunch closes Monday, January 27th

A Big Thank Your to the Fundraising Society!!!

Outdoor Pursuits would like to thank the Fundraising

Society for supporting our recent purchase of Cross Country

Skis in the amount of $6500.00! Thank you also to the MCS families that continue to support

the Fundraising Initiatives to make these amazing purchases possible!

The school has been

going through

a LOT of PLASTIC

SPOONS!!

Please do not forget

to pack reusable

spoons/forks in your

child’s lunch. It is

environmental and

saves the school the

cost of supplying

plastic cutlery.

Time: 7:00 pm

Part Time Help Wanted

Nola’s Granola is looking for two or three people to

work one or two days a week making the best

granola in the west! The job location is at the Red

Deer Lake Church kitchen. Hours are from 8:00-

4:00 but are fairly flexible to accommodate school

schedules.

Please call Glenda Bruder at 403-931-1558 if you

have any interest or would like more information.

Fresh Fruit Bowl

Starting soon, the Healthy Initiatives Committee will be providing a bowl of fresh fruit for students, staff

and parents to enjoy. Located either in the Learning Commons or the main office (TBD), it is intended to

provide a healthy snack option if you are hungry or just in the mood for a piece of fruit. Fruits with peel

will ensure cleanliness.

Why not eat some fruit? After basketball practice… after a long bus ride… before hopping on the bus

back home… waiting for a ride from a parent… or anytime your tummy is rumbly.

Please try it! We will continue to support the fruit bowl if it is eaten and enjoyed. [Please note that this is not a reflection that children’s’ lunches are lacking in fruit – they are not. It is just extra fruit.]

Funding was made available through a Healthy Initiatives grant awarded to Foothills School Division, shared

between MCS and other participating schools. Feedback on this idea to Ms. Sanders, Lisa Grover or Dawn Dott.
