Selkirk Parent Group (SPG) update – November 2024

It was a dark and stormy season … but the Selkirk community didn’t mind because a series of November activities warmed their hearts and hands. That’s right! Daylight may be in shortened supply, but we’ve got an abundance of good things coming your way. 

But First: Our Appreciation

  • Mèsi to the team of volunteers who helped with the Halloween Bash! A werewolf howl of thanks to the Kingfisher Leadership students for leading the event; parent volunteers for running the games.; and Leadership teacher Jhoanna Castillo for handling the multitude of event details. And, of course, thanks to everyone who attended–it was a lively and fun evening, as always!
  • Jërëjëf to our new and returning SPG volunteers, who keep the SPG going!

Spaghetti Social
We’re bringing back a beloved Selkirk tradition, the Spaghetti Social. Take some time out to dine and socialize together with your Selkirk community.. Thanks to a multitude of volunteers, this is a free family event. However, you do need a ticket! Pick up your ticket for seating 1 (5:00-6:00) or seating 2 (6:30-7:30). Bring your own reusable dishes, cutlery, and cups. And don’t forget your appetite!

Cash donations are welcome to help cover event costs. 

Board Game Night
Back by popular demand! Join us for a free, fun-filled night featuring board games generously provided by Interactivity Board Game Cafe. Try a new game or play a familiar one with new friends. Drop by the Kingfisher classroom on Thursday, November 28, anytime from 5:30 to 7:30. The Kingfisher Cafe will be selling goodies and treats to fuel the fun.

Purdys Fundraiser
This annual fundraiser is a delicious way to help our school as the program gives 25% of the profit back to Selkirk! Order delicious chocolates made from sustainable cocoa for the sweeties on your gift list. Look for vegan and sugar-free options, too! Find all the details on the SPG Fundraisers webpage.

Angel Gifts
Once again, the SPG will be collaborating with Our Place Society to sponsor gifts for people who would otherwise not receive anything over the holiday season. It’s an opportunity for us to work as a community to create a change in someone’s life. Watch for more information coming soon about this very meaningful initiative.
