Principal's Weekly Message - November 24, 2023
Hello ALS families,
Hello everyone. I want to thank you all for engaging in our Parent Teacher Conferences last night and today. Our teachers were booked solid. Working together to support students is essential. I also want to ensure that parents/guardians know that you need not wait for conferences to reach out to your child’s teacher at any time if you have questions or concerns, or information to share with them about your child that you feel is important for them to know about in working with them.
Thank you as well to those of you that joined our School Council meeting on Tuesday. The minutes will be posted on our website when approved by the Council and if you missed the meeting, please do take a look. I have included some information around our goals this year and some details on our school composition and demographics that may be interesting for parents/guardians to learn about.
I hope you all have a great weekend and always, please let me know if there’s anything you need that I can support you with.
Sincerely,
Nancy Lisi, Principal

Winter Fundraiser Alert!
Are you seeking creative ways to make your home come alive this holiday season? The Grade 9 sailing trip is currently selling an exquisite collection of winter plants to raise funds for the spring sailing trip. The money generated from the sale will be used to subsidize the cost of the trip. These premium quality plants are supplied by Growing Smiles, and you can choose from a range of indoor and outdoor plants.
The premium poinsettias (available in red or white) would make a great addition to your home decor or add a festive look to your dining table with a mixed tropical planter in holiday-themed tins. You could also consider a hanging greenery bough that comes in a vintage burlap bag holding premium greens and red ilex berry branches to lean up against stairs, benches, or hang from your door!
We are also selling classic holiday outdoor wreaths with juniper and cedar, large plaid low, frosted pinecones, and red berries. For your front porch, you can welcome your guests with a large stunning and fresh holiday greenery arrangement that stands 2 feet tall!
The Fundraiser will run until November 22nd, and your orders will be ready for pick up at the school on December 7th. You can choose to support a single student or the entire trip by specifying your donation preference at checkout. If you're looking for a healthy alternative to giving cookies, something complementary to go with chocolates, or just something to add a pop of colour and cheer to the holidays, simply use the link below to take you to our fundraising website.
We would be grateful if you could share the link with your family and friends to support the fundraiser.

Healthy Hunger Dates
Organized by our School Council, Arbour Lake School does offer “Fun Lunches” through Healthy Hunger. Parents can order lunch for their child in advance. It is delivered to the school on the noted date and distributed to students. If you’re interested in taking advantage of getting a break from making lunches occasionally this is a nice treat for parents and students. The link to sign up is below. Please scroll down and select “Arbour Lake Middle School” – there are two schools with similar names, this is the one that takes you to our staff selection.
