Staff Appreciation Luncheon ~  

Thank you so much to the PTA for providing the staff with a fabulous appreciation luncheon.  It was absolutely delicious and it was enjoyed by all.  

A special 'Thank You' to Giselle Messer, Tammy Glubish, Sheena Rector, and Joyce BAkker for preparing and serving the lunch and then supervising the students while the staff enjoyed the luncheon.  

Gr. 5/6 Year End Field Trip ~

The Gr. 5/6 class went to the Snow Valley Aerial Park for their year end field trip.  All of the students had a wonderful time and most of them said that they would go back again.  Some of them even conquered their fear of heights.  

Thank you to the PTA for sponsoring this trip.

Gr. 1/2 Field Trip ~

Kinder Graduation/Family Day Celebration ~ 

Our Kindergarten class will be celebrating their year of learning on Thursday, June 22nd in the afternoon.  Specifics went home with each of the kindergarten children.

Canada 150 Activities ~

On Friday, June 23 the staff and students will be celebrating Canada’s 150 birthday.   Each teacher will organize an activity for the students to participate in. Students will be divided into four groups and will rotate through the various activities.  The activities will take place in the afternoon, starting at 12:45.  

For one of the activities, the students will need to bring in a rock.  The rock can range from about 3 inches to 6 inches. If a child brings a rock that is on the smaller end, they may want to bring in a couple of them.  The children should not bring in rocks that are too large for them to carry.  

Here is an example of what they will be doing with the rocks:

Track Meet Events Rescheduled ~

Due to the rain on our Track Meet Day we unfortunately could not finish the relay events that were scheduled for the afternoon.  Weather permitting, we are planning on completing the relay events and the tug of war on the afternoon of Tuesday, June 27th at 1:00 prior to the Celebration of Learning.

We hope you are able to make it out for this!

After School Pick Up and Busing Changes ~

Thank you to all of the parents that call or email the school to let us know that there will be a change to how their child is going home.  It is important that parents let us know if there is going to be a change in the way your child is going home.  Even if you have made prior arrangements with another parent, we still need to be informed.

Many times the students are asking if we received a call because they are not sure if they are getting picked up or taking the bus. If we have not been informed of any changes the rule of thumb at the school is that if the child's ride is not at the school when the buses are leaving then they are put on the bus. We would hate to send a child home to a empty house.  

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter!
