DLG Weekly Update: November 17 – 21

Hello Parents and Guardians!

Here’s what’s happening this week at David Lloyd George Elementary:

🌺 Remembrance Day Assembly

A special thank you to the parents who were able to make it to our Remembrance Day Assembly. Our students, in singing, reciting, and hosting, did a great job in honouring our veterans and remembering those who have been affected by war.

🥫 Food Drive – Marpole Food Hub

Our student council has organized a 1-week blitz food drive!

• Dates: Nov. 12–19
• Collecting: Non-perishable food (e.g., tinned stews, pasta, canned fish) and non-food items (e.g., diapers, toothpaste, shampoo).
• Reminder: Items must have at least 6 months before expiry.

Students can bring their items to their classroom where boxes are available.

🍃 Grounds Clean-Up

In following our Code of Conduct where we commit to taking care of our environment, this week Division 2 will be of service and helping keep our grounds clean. Thank you Division 2!

🏐 Volleyball

Thank you to all family members available to support our students.

• Junior Girls: travelling to Sexsmith – Tuesday
• Senior Boys: playing at Moberly – Wednesday
• Senior Girls: playing at a site TBD – Thursday

A huge thank you to the staff and parent volunteers who help coach, giving up their before and after school time to make volleyball a rich tradition at DLG.
