Hello all,

A reminder that today (Friday the 23rd) is the early bird deadline for the Thrifty Foods Fun Run at the Goodlife Victoria Marathon. That means it is the last day to register (link below) and have your child's "race pack" delivered to the school, and for their shirt to have the Deep Cove team name on the back. You may still register after today but you will have to pick up your race pack downtown and the shirt will be blank on the back.

Deep Cove is currently amongst the leaders for most registrants. Great evidence of Dolphin Spirit!

Click here to go to registration page.

Reminder... We hope to see you this evening for our KNOW YOUR SCHOOL NIGHT!

5:30-6:10 picnic on the field (pizza - if pre-ordered)...

6:15-6:45 informal visits in the classrooms...

6:45-7:15 in the gym... we hope you will join us to enjoy a movie that introduces the staff and each class and highlights some of the school's programs!

We look forward to seeing you this evening!

Letters will go home with interested kids tomorrow, but you can register your children right now as part of the Deep Cove team for the Thrifty Foods Fun Run at the Victoria Goodlife Marthon on Thanksgiving Sunday by copying or clicking the link below. Make sure to register as part of the Deep Cove team by Friday to get your child's shirt delivered to the school with Deep Cove printed on the back. Go Dolphins!
