Meet the Teacher:

On September 13th at 5:45pm, Chipman Elementary will have an “Open House” for families.

Everyone is encouraged to attend.

Students wear outdoor sneakers and comfortable clothing for fitness activities and trail running. Program begins at 3pm and parents pick-up their child(ren) at 4pm. PLEASE NOTE: No cross country on Sept. 26th - no school in the afternoon for students.

Annual Terry Fox School Run:

Walk, run or wheel(chair) with us Friday, September 29th for our Terry Fox School Run Event. We raise funds for cancer research by asking each student to donate $2 as we continue to keep Terry’s dream alive. Celebrate the legacy of Terry Fox, remember our family and friends, and support survivors. The event will go rain or shine.

Health Note:

“Breakfast” our Brain Food: Breakfast has been proven to be one of the most important meals of the day. Children who start their day with a full belly will be hungry to learn and not hungry for food. As families prepare for the return to school, it’s important to get back into the routine of having a healthy well balanced breakfast. Try to include 3 out of the 4 food groups in your breakfast. This could be a slice of whole grain toast, piece of cheese and fruit or quick oatmeal with berries and yogurt.

Big Benefits of Breakfast:

-Increase in academic performance

-Better concentration and behavior

-Increase self-esteem and self-confidence which leads to positive interactions with peers and adults

-Better attitude towards school and learning

-More vitamin and mineral intake

-Healthy weights
