Roden Gr 7/8 student art will be on display at the Flying Pony (1481 Gerrard St. East) from October 27 to 31st. Halloween treats will also be distributed on the 31st between 5pm and 7pm.

Do you need help identifying and understanding your child(ren)’s fears and inhibitions? Come to Roden school council’s first workshop of the year: Strategies for dealing with anxiety in children. FREE. Oct. 29 at 6:00 p.m. in the school library. Refreshments and childcare provided.

Roden’s Grades 7 & 8 students celebrate at the finish line of the Walk-a-thon Oct. 17. And a celebration was in order: Roden students and their families almost doubled our fundraising goal to bring in a whopping $9,600! Thanks to all the volunteers who made it happen; a special note of thanks to organizers Nadia and Tanya.

The first-ever Roden Walk-a-thon is coming THIS FRIDAY! Students have been working hard to get sponsors and win some BIG prizes!

A few reminders to make this event a success:

· SPONSOR ENVELOPES must be returned to class on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings this week in order to win prizes.

· All students must return their SPONSOR ENVELOPE to the school even if they don’t receive any sponsors.

· This event will take place rain or shine, so please ensure your child dresses appropriately.

In addition to all of the INDIVIDUAL PRIZES, a CELEBRATION PARTY will be awarded to the two classes who raise the most funds (one for JK/SK to Grade 3 and one for Grades 4 – 8) and a TOP PRIZE will be awarded to the student who raises the most money in the school! Prizes will be announced during the closing ceremony on Friday, October 17.

Just over a week left until the Roden Walk-a-Thon! Here’s a look at the event’s walking schedule by grade. And just a reminder that students should return their sponsor envelopes to their classroom teachers by Oct. 16.
