The EWS Book Fair is happening this month from Tuesday, October 25-Friday, October 28, during the school day and during Parent-Teacher Interviews. There will be an exciting selection of Scholastic’s newest books as well as some Scholastic classic books. This year our goal is to sell $2000 worth of books.

Student Council has started meeting under the direction of the largest executive East Wiltshire School has ever had. Tessa Craig, Calvin Parsons, Erika Puiras, Madeleine MacCannell, Layne MacEachern and Jacob Stewart have undertaken to run the Council as a team. So far they have a dance fixed for November 3^rd and they are planning lots of excitement for the week leading up to Halloween. A school spirit day will be held on Halloween Day itself when students are asked to come in costume (no masks please) and to bring an item of nonperishable food to donate to the Food Bank.

East Wiltshire will be running its Fall Pep Rally on Wednesday, October 19^th. All students and staff are asked to show support for our school teams by wearing our school colours on that date.

Literacy is all around us. Sitting down together to watch the news or a television show and chatting about it is a form of literacy. Any time any of us takes the time to talk to young people about their understanding of the world, we’re helping them with their literacy, even if it’s discussing the latest episode of Coronation Street or dissing each others’ teams during a hockey game!

Eating Well with Canada’s Food Guide recommends that children ages 4-13 years eat 5-6 servings of vegetables and fruit per day. Vegetables and fruit have important nutrients such as vitamins, minerals and fibre. Eating lots of colorful vegetables and fruit each day will ensure kids get the nutrients they need to grow and the energy they need to learn and stay active. Eating vegetables and fruit may help to lower the risk of developing chronic diseases such as cancer, heart disease and stroke in the future. It is important to include vegetables and fruit at breakfast, lunch, supper and snacks.
