Movie Day

Movies, drinks and Popcorn....that was how Rideau Vista spent their Friday afternoon.

The students had the choice to either watch Madagascar 2 or HSM3 and we sold movie style freshly popped popcorn and drinks for $1.00 each.

Fun was had by everyone invoved and we raised another $187.00.

Thank once again for supporting our Playground fundraising!

One more challenge event to go next Friday- The infamous Teacher Challenges!

Check back to see the results!

Chuck The Chicken

On Friday, Feb. 27th we held our Chuck The Chicken event. Students paid $1.00 for 3 throws of a rubber chicken. Everyone lined up in front of recycling bins and tried to throw the chickens into the bins. Everytime they were successful, their name went into a draw. Everyone encouraged each other and cheered each other on. Students from JK to teachers played. This event raised $132.00.

Alexis Lyons won Free Hot Lunches for the rest of the year.
Eric McCulloch won the chance to be either Principal or a Teacher for the day.

Congratulations to the winners and thanks for helping us raise more money for the Playground!

Toonie Toss

There was a lot of excitement in the Rideau Vista gym today. The Toonie Toss was a success and everyone enjoyed themselves. Maddie Croke in Grade 3 was the winner of this event and she will receive a $50 gift card for EB Games. Her picture will be posted soon.

The event raised $268.00 for our playground. Thanks to everyone who participated.

Chuck the Chicken is next week for another chance to win a prize and Movie day is on Friday. I can smell the popcorn already.

Valentine's Day Grams

Valentine's Day Grams were sold this week and delivered on Friday, Feb 13th. Another successful $500 Challenge Event. We raised $80.00 to put towards our playground and fitness park and enjoyed a little chocolate too.

Thank you to everyone who participated and to the organizers.

Boys and Girls Bathroom Visits

Today, we offered guided tours of the boys and girls bathrooms for those who wished and had permission to participate. The challenge team came up with this crazy idea and the students at school loved it! This event helped us raise $26.00 to put towards our playground and fitness park. I think the boys are a little jealous because it as discovered that the girls have a decorated bathroom with scented hand soap, hand towels, a flower arrangement and a singing moose.

It is also Winter Wake up Week and today was PJ Day/Crazy Hat Day.

Thanks for participating and we hope all your curiosities have been put to rest. It was fun!
