“The Thinking Series” for Parents

The Thinking Series is a video resource that tackles the top five questions our culture is asking today. These questions are: 

• What is the Meaning of Life? 
• Does God Exist? 
• Do All Religions Lead to God? 
• Why is There Evil? 
• Is There Life after Death?

If you have ever asked yourself these questions, or if your children have ever asked these questions of you, help is on the way! Please join Pastor Laverne Hautz (of Hope Lutheran Church) for a series of discussions intended specifically for school parents. 

The next session will be held at the Port Coquitlam campus on Monday, November 7, 7:30 – 8:30 pm, and the topic will be “What is the Meaning of Life?” A brief story video (4 minutes) will be followed by a brief discussion. Then a longer teaching video (10 minutes) will be followed by a little  bit longer discussion of the topic question.  

All school parents are invited to attend, and you are welcome to bring along other friends or family members who may be interested in the topic. The other topics will follow on about a once-a-month basis. Please use the following link to sign up for the November session or other upcoming sessions:

THE THINKING SERIES SIGN UP

Remembrance Day Chapel

On Wednesday, November 9, the entire K-6 campus is planning to walk to the Port Coquitlam Legion (2675 Shaughnessy Street) for a Remembrance Day chapel service led by Pastor Hautz. Legion representatives will join us and lead us through some acts of remembrance. Students are expected to be in formal uniform and should be dressed for the weather as the service will be outdoors by the Legion’s cenotaph. Comfortable footwear for walking is encouraged as are jackets and umbrellas, if it is raining.  Parents are welcome to join us for the 11:00 am service. Field trip permission forms are past due please return as soon as possible.

To clarify, the students will be walking to the Legion not driving.  Sorry for the confusion on the permission slip.

Poppies will be distributed to the students on November 9 for the Remembrance Chapel service.  Donations can be made to classroom teachers up until November 10.

School Zone Safety

Please remember to drive slowly in the school parking lot, lane, and neighbouring streets. It is important to the safety of our students to drive slowly and come to a full stop at stop signs. Please remember to drop off students in the morning at the back of the South Wing. Thank you to our faithful parent volunteers who open vehicle doors for our students and welcome them to school. We appreciate your cooperation in keeping our students safe.
