Honouring Terry Fox

Mr. Fernhout led chapel this morning. He showed us a very moving series of video clips about Terry Fox and his Marathon of Hope. We all went out to the field and completed two laps afterwards. 

Primary Building Update

Chapel Today

Mr. Stuart led chapel this morning and brought in some special guests from the construction crew building the new primary campus. They shared with us a little about their jobs and their faith walk with God. 

First Week in 4S

Field Trip to Coquitlam Watershed 

When? 
4S -Sep. 19 and 4V- Sep. 26 8:45-2:40

How? A special bus picks us up and takes us to the watershed.

Why? 
To explore watersheds and discover connections. The Coquitlam Watershed is a special place with unique treasures. It is a place where few people go, wildlife abounds, trees tower in mountains and valleys and water moves through natural landscapes to our water supply system. We plan to see the dam and learn how water gets from the reservoir to our tap. We plan to explore what makes watershed ecosystems important through fun, student-centered activities. We plan to make connections between healthy ecosystems and a healthy water supply. Once we’ve experienced the magic of this area, we will be reminded of our special day, every time we turn on the tap!

Each class can only take three adults so talk to your child's teacher if you are keen to go.

A Message from Mr. Stuart...

I will be working with your child and his/her classmates in a physical education setting for one block each week. It is important that your child is prepared with proper indoor and outdoor running shoes, approved Falcon t-shirt, Falcon shorts and/or track pants. If you have any questions concerning this important aspect of educating for wholeness, please feel free to contact me through your child's homeroom teacher or directly at dstuart@surreychristian.com throughout the school year.

A few important physical aspects that you will need to model and support your child with this year.
1. Daily physical activity (recommended 1 hour minimum each day)
2. Drink water many times daily - avoid drinks with sugar added
3. Proper well-balanced diet
4. Sleep

It is an honour for me to share my passion for this area with families at Surrey Christian. God has given us all amazing bodies to care for. Let's all make it a priority to make it an active year.

-Mr. Stuart
