It is hard to believe that spring break is over and we are back to school tomorrow! I hope you had a WONDERFUL break and were able to spend time relaxing with friends and family! April is proving to be a busy month and we have a number of things coming up.

Spelling Words:  supply, listen, affect, arrive, pressure, purchase, frighten, acknowledge, audience, investigate

Summer Uniform Starts Tomorrow:  students are able to wear shorts and sandals to school.  Please note that sandals need to be black, white or brown and need to have a back strap.

Art Gala & Talent Show:  Please join the intermediate department on Thursday, April 11th from 6:30 – 8:00 for our annual Art Gala and Talent Show.  Students will be showcasing their favourite art pieces and we will also have a talent show.  Please enter through the church lobby and come dressed in your Sunday best!

Before and After School Duty Times:  Just a friendly reminder that we have staff on duty before school from 8:00am until the bell rings at 8:55am. A decision is made each morning  based on the weather either  to keep the students inside,  have them go out to play or a combination of both. It is important for us to keep our students safe and to know that all students are accounted for and are playing where they are expected to be in case of an emergency. Students who are wandering in the hallways will be asked to join other students in the designated play areas, unless they are being cared for by a parent.

After school supervision begins outside at 2:55pm and ends at 3:30pm. At 3:30pm, all remaining students are brought inside and supervised in the school foyer until 4pm. If the weather is very poor, students may be brought into the foyer before 3:30pm in order to keep them dry. Again, it is very important to all of our staff that we are able to keep our students safe at all times when on campus.  Students who are wandering the campus after school will be asked to join other students either on the playground or in the school foyer.  Thank you so much in advance for helping us keep our students safe!

Silent Auction Baskets:  The week before spring break we were collecting $5 per elementary student to put together grade level baskets for our upcoming gala silent auction.  We thought it might be good to extend our collection of donations for this week as well.  If you are able to donate $5 to help us make a basket for the silent auction, your child can give the donation to their teacher or pay at the office.  Thank you!
