Ms. Miller and I want to say a heartfelt thank you for the sweet cards and thoughtful gifts we received last week.  It was an absolute joy teaching your child this year!!  We wish you and your family a relaxing and fun-filled summer.

Sincerely,

Mrs. G & Ms. M 😀

A few reminders for tomorrow & Wednesday:

Potato Party:  Please bring your toppings if you haven’t brought them already.

Desk & Locker Clean Tomorrow:  Please send a bag along to put desk items in.

Waterslides on Wednesday:  We are leaving at 8:30 sharp on Wednesday, please have your child arrive at 8:15 on Wednesday morning.  We will arrive back by the end of the day.

There are food options if you do not wish to pack a lunch.  I have added the poster below:

School Food Menu 2022[34]

Potato Harvesting: Tomorrow we will be harvesting our potatoes!  This will likely be a messy project and I would hate to get dirt all over the student’s uniforms. Students will come to school in their uniforms but can change into their PE uniforms or casual clothes that come from home.   Please also send along the Potato Party items tomorrow if you’d like!

Fractured Fairy Tale Plays:  Tomorrow we will perform our fractured fairy tale plays for our grade one buddies.  Don’t forget to bring any costumes or props you may need!

Thank you!!

Happy Thursday to you!  With end-of-the-year events beginning tomorrow, I thought it might be best to send the weekly update today!  We have been enjoying ourselves this week, wrapping things up and getting ready for summer holidays!  We’ve been doing our best to keep the class engaged with a morning balloon popping ‘surprise’.  Students have enjoyed indoor snowball fights, Dude Perfect videos at lunchtime and bubble gum chewing in class!  We have a few more balloons to pop over this next week and I’m sure the class will enjoy these few extra treats!  =)

Intermediate Fun Day Tomorrow:  Students can wear Knight’s wear tomorrow.  The primary will be doing their fun day activities in the morning and the intermediate in the afternoon.  Please note that it is a regular school day tomorrow and we will end at 2:55.

Potato Party on Tuesday:  A sheet went home this week outlining what your child should bring for the potato party next Tuesday.  In case it never made it into your hands, here is a list of what your child will bring for the party.  You can bring it tomorrow or Monday if you’d like.  Please ensure it’s here for Tuesday morning.  Thank you to those who were able to come and help!  We really appreciate it!

Noon Dismissal on Friday, June 17th

Items trickling Home over the next week.  If you want to bring a couple of plastic or reusable bags to school, that would be helpful!

Thanks and enjoy the rest of your week!

Happy Saturday!  I hope you have a moment to enjoy the sunshine today!  It’s been a busy June so far and the last two weeks of school will prove to keep us hopping with activity!  Here’s a snapshot of what’s coming up over the next two weeks:

Spring Sing on Monday:  We are looking forward to the Spring Sing on Monday.  The concert starts at 2:00 and students will be dismissed at the regular time.  Please have students wearing their regular uniforms for this event.

Intermediate Fun Day: Friday afternoon we will be having an intermediate fun day.  Classes will rotate through a number of teacher-led stations and spend the afternoon having fun together!  Students can wear Knight’s Wear for this event.

Potato Party:  Next Monday we will be harvesting our potatoes and are looking forward to having a ‘potato party’ on Tuesday, June 14th.  I am asking each parent to bring in an item for our party – a list will come home with your child this week.  We are going to be making   Potato sundaes – roasted potatoes that students can load up with a variety of toppings and eat like an ice cream sundae.  ***I would love a parent or two to come in for the afternoon and help me in the kitchen.  If you are available, please email me at pgoosen@highroadacademy.com

Waterslides:  On Wednesday, June 15th we will be heading to the waterslides.  We are asking students to arrive at 8:15 so we can arrive at the park for 9:00.  More information will follow later this week.
