We are excited about our Greenhouse Fundraiser on Friday! We will have basketball games to watch as well as some interactive skills challenges for the younger ones between games. There will be pizza for sale as well as concession treats! Due to this even being outside of school hours, all students Grade 6 and under must either be accompanied by an adult or by a sibling/family friend Grade 9 or older. We hope to see you and your family there!
I hope your family had a wonderful long weekend and enjoyed the much-anticipated sunshine! It was such a treat after all the rain we have been having! Last Monday we had a wonderful day at Britannia Mine Museum. I’m sure you’ve heard all about it already – I have included pictures of our day below!
A few things coming up…
Spring Showcase: We are excited to be having a spring concert on Monday, June 6th at 2:00. If you would like tickets, the office needs to know by May 25th. 3 tickets per family are available.
BMV this Friday. But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure, then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.

I forgot to let the class know so am blogging as a reminder.
Jeans Day tomorrow for a $5 donation.
Thanks!
We have had a lovely day and are on our way home. If Google Maps is telling us the truth we should be back by 3:30.
Looking forward to seeing everyone at 7:45 tomorrow for our Britannia Field Trip! Make sure to be dressed for wet weather and have close-toed shoes on!
Jeans Day on Wednesday is a $5 minimum donation, not $2, as I posted earlier.
Thank you!
it was a great week here in the Grade 5 classroom. Students have been busy working on immigration and BC resource projects, reading an amazing novel and are getting ready to write a fractured fairy tale! This is one productive classroom!
Britannia Mine Museum on Monday!
We are looking forward to our field trip on Monday. Please have students at school by 7:45 as we would like to leave at 8:00. Students can wear casual clothes and should dress warmly as we will be outside for a good portion of the field trip. Make sure students are wearing close-toed shoes and have a jacket as well. They will need to pack a lunch with lots of snacks! Our plan is to head to Shannon Falls before we head home. If it’s pouring out we will come straight back and will then be home by 3:00 – if that happens I will post on the blog.

I hope your family had a lovely Mother’s Day weekend and spent time with your loved ones. As I’m sure you heard (and some witnessed) we had a VERY wet track and field meet on Thursday! The class did so well despite the lousy weather and we were very thankful for a warm classroom at the end of the day! We have a few things coming up over the next several weeks…
Britannia Mine Museum on Monday: Next Monday we will be heading to Squamish for another amazing field trip. Please have your child at school for 7:45 so we can be on our way at 8:00. This gives us lots of time to get there. After our time at the museum, we will head to Shannon Falls for a short walk and some ‘chill time’. We should be back by 4:00.
Bible Memory Verses are coming home tomorrow.
Jeans Pay to Wear Casual is on Wednesday, May 18th. Minimum donation is $2.

A few photos from the track meet & our visit with the Grade 12 Biology class this morning. The Grade 5’s learned about healthy choices and the human body…it was fantastic!
We are heading home early from the track meet and will be at school before 3.
As we approach the date of the track meet, we wanted to send out some further information on plans for departure, etc. We will be taking the bus to the park. Due to the amount of time needed to get there, traffic and early start time, we will be leaving the school at 7:00. We will be arriving back at approx. 3:45 depending on traffic.
Students should have the following items to take with them:
• Hat
• Water bottle
• Lunch
and snacks (there will be no concession available)
• Phys. Ed uniform (changed into before we go)
• Rain equipment (depending on weather) and warm clothing
• Proper footwear
• Something to do on the bus. Just a reminder that no electronics are allowed on the bus.
For those who are driving, the students should be at the park at 8:30
This should be a fun event and we are looking forward to the students having a day full of fun and exercise!
