Dear Parents/Guardians:

This is a reminder that the money and/or form has not been returned to the school for your child/ren.  In order to continue to bring students educational and fun opportunities like Mr. Barkie we need to have your support.  Please send the money and/form in as soon as possible.  Thank you for your continued support.  If there are any concerns please contact the school directly.

Hip Hop Dance Program

Between Jan. 4 to Jan 18, 2016 (not including the PA Day), Justin Barkie will be returning to Joseph A. Gibson to work with our students to enhance our dance program.  This is an excellent opportunity for the whole school to engage in the creative dance process and try out a specific dance with a professional instructor.  Mr. Barkie has worked on many professional music videos with various artists and runs his own dance studio.
The cost per student is $10.00 plus tax; however, Parent Council has agreed to subsidize the cost from their Art Enhancement Fund.  Each student is asked to pay $7.50.  Please submit your payment by cheque or money order payable to Joseph A. Gibson P.S..  We are asking to collect the money before the Christmas/Winter break because this event starts the first day back on January 4, 2016.   If you have more than one child, please send the cheque or money order with the oldest child.

On Behalf of Joseph A. Gibson Staff
