Lady Evelyn School Council, along with the teachers and staff, is organizing a used books' sale to collect funds for the Child Haven International Orphanage in Nepal. The book sale will be held at Lady Evelyn School on the aftenoon and evening of December 6th and the morning of December 7th during parent/teacher sessions.
If you have any used books that you would like to donate for the book sale, please drop them off at the front entrance of Lady Evelyn School in the designated box.
On December 6th and 7th, parents and students will be able to purchase used books at a nominal price and the proceeds of the sale will go to support the construction and development of a library at the Child Haven Orphanage in Nepal (http://www.childhaven.ca/). Parents will also have an opportunity on these days to purchase fair trade crafts from Nepal. This event is a great opportunity to recycle used books for a worthy cause and do a little holiday shopping at the same time!
For more information on the book and fair trade craft sale, please contact Narissa Somji at (613)730-6955. Volunteers are needed to assist with these events.

Choices for children - Is Alfie Kohn's perspective realistic and applicable or utopian?
The education committee is inviting all school families (grown-ups and kids) to an evening of discussion on facilitating choices for children at school and at home as presented last week by Alfie Kohn at the Montessori Conference.
We hope you will join us for stimulating dialogue and sharing of ideas on how to enhance our children's potential to learn and flourish in an inspired and inspiring environment.
For those of you who couldn't make it to Alfie Kohn's presentation, it might be useful to read his article Choices for children which sums up his arguments for allowing children greater choice.
refreshments will be provided
go check out the Education Committee blog

There was a full page article in section J of Saturday's Ottawa Citizen on Alfie Kohn. It mentioned his upcoming talk at the Montessori conference this Friday night and focused on the problems with homework and praise.
