Good Morning! Today is the day in our literacy calendar to compare prices at your stores. Especially during this time of inflation, high cost of living, and low household incomes it can be difficult to manage all the things that we need to buy. Sometimes there can also be hardship in managing all these little things on our own as well. this "Frugal Foodie" graphic made by Chilliwack Learning Society in conjunction with the Chilliwack Financial Literacy Committee was made with this very issue in mind. Let's hope it contains some tips that can help reduce your grocery bill!

Today we are working on online banking! Coming up this weekend is to listen to live music. But in case that isn't possible, here are a few other options:
- Ask a friend/family member to show you some music they've been working on
- sing your favourite song by yourself or with others
- take a moment to sit and listen to some music you haven't heard before
- ask someone if you can share music you've been working on with them!

And don't forget to wear purple and celebrate literacy day on Friday!

This is so cool! Anyone with kids who play Minecraft should check it out. Misinformation is a growing problem and we not only need to become more aware of it happening to others, but also more accepting of our own susceptibility to it. A great resource!
