Family Update – February 2-6, 2026
Happy Monday, Stinger Families!
Welcome to February and to Term 2 of the 2025-2026 school year!
February is Superhero Kindness Month at Storrington!
We declare that February is Kindness Superhero Month at Storrington! (starting Feb 9)
There are 3 Spirit Days Planned:
-"Odd Socks Day" - wear your mismatched socks to celebrate individuality! (Feb 20)
- Superhero Day (Feb 26)
- Red/White/Pink/Purple Day (Feb 13)
Each week will focus on a theme to promote kindness as a school community:
· The Power of Good: Make the positives loud!
· Anti-Bullying Behaviour (Bullies Out, Acts of Kindness In)
· If we challenge it, we can change it
There will be school-wide tasks, which could include:
- Super power story time – read-alouds all week
- Kindness Tally Charts
- "Chain" reaction of positivity/kindness around each classroom
- Creative Writing - individual or shared writing as a class
We will finish off the month of February with a Kindness Superpower assembly – details will be shared soon! The assembly will take place on February 26.
Term 1 Report Cards
Term 1 Report Cards will be sent home on Friday, February 13. If your student is absent that day, they will be sent home on Tuesday, February 17.
Term 2 IEPs
If your student has an IEP, the Term 2 IEPs will be sent home immediately after March Break, on Monday, March 23, 2026.
Candy Grams Fundraiser for Student Council
Student Council will be selling Candy Grams as a Fundraiser. We will use this money to pay for the DJ booked for the dances on February 13, as well as continue to save for future events and our personalized tent for sporting events.
Each student at Storrington will receive a Candy Gram and a positive message.
Candy Grams will be sold for $1.50.
Candy Grams will be sold by the Student Council – February 5, 6, 9, 10.
Candy Grams will be distributed on February 13.
Valentine’s Dances
Our Valentine’s Dances will take place on Friday, February 13! The Dances (1 for the bottom floor and 1 for the top floor) will take place during the 3rd block of the day. A DJ has been hired – this was a very positive experience in October! We are looking forward to a fun afternoon of movement and music! It will also be the pink/white/red/purple spirit day!
