I promise to do my best, to be true to myself, my beliefs and Canada. I will take action for a better world, and respect the Brownie Law.

Thank you to Evelyn!

Hi Families,

The girls had a fantastic time at our yoga class on Thursday. A big thanks goes out to Evelyn at Samadhi Wellness Centre (http://samadhiwellness.ca/) for taking the time to volunteer in our unit. If your Brownie is interested in taking a child's yoga class, more details on the upcoming session (starting in mid-February) can be found on Samadhi's website.

This week the girls will be taking part in running games. Please ensure they bring indoor shoes they can run in.

See you Thursday!

The Owls.

Yoga Night - Jan. 24


Hi Families,
 
Just a reminder that this week is yoga night! Brownies are asked to bring a yoga mat if one is available and to dress in comfortable clothing. Please bring indoor shoes as well, as we will be having a short regular meeting after the yoga class. Our meeting will run from 6 to 7:30 this week at St. Jerome.

A couple of other notes:

-          We have been a bit lax (well, very lax – sorry about that!) on dues collection for the past 2 weeks due to the field trips. Please remind your Brownies to bring their dues this week.

-          Thinking Day – this year the Community’s Thinking Day Celebrations will be held on Monday, February 25 at  the French Catholic school from 6-7:30. More details will follow. This will replace another one of our Thursday meetings closer to Thinking Day.

 Lastly – We would like to take a moment to welcome a new Brownie and  a new Leader to our group! Maya and her mom Tracey (aka Sunny Owl) joined our group at the beginning of January. Welcome to you both!

Thanks
Jen (Tawny Owl)

Now Tobogganning on January 10


Hi Families

With the warmer weather this week we have to change our skating plans. Instead we will go tobogganing at Four Seasons Park (on Spratt, beside St. Jerome School).
 
Please drop your girls off at the hill dressed for tobogganing (with sleds and other proper gear) at the regular start time (6pm). Pick up will be back in the gym at 7:30.
 
Thank you and sorry for the change!

January 10 - Skating at Spratt Park and Other Updates

Hi Families,

Happy New Year! Just a reminder that our first meeting back is this week - January 10. We are working on a badge at the Spratt skating rink (right beside Steve MacLean PS) and beginning our work on our Active Living Key. Family members are welcome to join us on the ice if they wish. Please dress for the weather because this meeting will be entirely outdoors.

Also please note:

January 17 - We are going to Moncion's Independent Grocers for a tour of the grocery store as part of our Active Living Key and Food Power badge. This will be a shorter meeting. A permission form will follow shortly by email.

January 24 - Samadhi Yoga will be giving a yoga class for the girls! If you have a yoga mat, please bring it that evening. Girls should dress in comfortable clothing.

See you Thursday!
