Our Pawson ACT! student leadership group supervised by Mrs. K. Couse, will be collecting gently used children's coats and jackets on December 18th and 19th. The ACT! group will deliver the donated coats to the Regina YWCA Isabel Johnson Shelter. The shelter's focus is on empowering women for violence-free lives. We encourage Pawson families to clean out closets and donate to this worthy cause.

The Student Representative Council (SRC) and supervisor Ms. J. Burns, will be selling candy canes to interested students at recess times on December 11th, 12th, and 13th. Students may purchase a candy cane for 50¢ or 3 candy canes for $1.00. All proceeds will be given to Soul's Harbour Rescue Mission in Regina, to support their work in providing meals, clothing and emergency shelter to those in need.

Our Pawson Kindergarten to Grade 8 teachers look forward to meeting with families on Friday, November 24th for Parent/Student/Teacher conferences.

This is a wonderful opportunity for students to share goals and to have a three-way discussion regarding their progress. During this scheduled time, teachers may also share information from Regina Public School assessments, including the Kindergarten EYE, as well as Reading assessments such as Oral Reading Records (ORR) and Fountas and Pinnell (F&P).

We encourage you to visit our book fair in the school library before or after your conference time. The book fair is open from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. on November 24th.

Thank you to our Ruth Pawson Safety Patrol team, for helping to ensure our students are safe when crossing the streets near our school. Our teams are on duty at 11:45 a.m. and at 3:37 p.m. on Weekes Crescent directly in front of the school, and at the corner of Weekes and Broad Street.

The team is under the direction of our School Resource Officer, Constable Greg Krawetz, and schedules are coordinated by Mrs. Bosch at the school office.

Patrollers gain confidence, learn responsibility and leadership through the program, and they model these traits to other students in our school. Thank you to drivers for following the patrollers' directions and to the 2017-18 Pawson Safety Patrol team members: Amy, Isaac, Hannah, Evan, Jovie, Neely, Taleigha, Taylor, Dawson, Owen, Dax, Ainsley, Drew, McKenzie, Anya, Sierra, Tyler and Marissa.
