FANTASTIC FIVES

The students will be wearing their uniforms tomorrow but may want to bring a pair of runners or boots for Elmido Farms.

Thank you!!

We have a few events coming up this month:

Wednesday, May 18th –  Elmido Farms field trip.  I recently heard back from Meadow Valley Meats and we will be heading there for a quick tour of their plant between the farm and ice cream store.  This will put us back to school closer to 2:00.  Please return the field trip forms on Monday.

Monday, May 23rd – Victoria Day (no school)

Friday, May 27th – Science World Field Trip.  Permission slips will come home next week

Monday, May 30th – Spring Sing at 7 PM.  Students may wear their Highroad Knights shirts, red or black. If they do not have a Highroad t-shirt they may wear either their uniform shirt or a PLAIN black shirt. They may wear jeans or pants without rips or tears and no shorts. Any shoe is fine.  We will be taking a love offering for Nate and Melanie Loewen.  Nathan has been a teacher here at Highroad for the past 11 years and his children attend our elementary school. This summer he and his wife and family are moving to Indonesia! While in Indonesia, they will be teaching at an international school and learning the culture and language. Their family will be in a Muslim nation sharing the love of Jesus to those around them.

February and March the students were busy writing beautiful poetry!  They each chose their favourite five poems and I have gotten them all ready to be published.  The books is in my ‘cart’ on the publishing site and I am waiting for a free shipping coupon to come along!  I seem to get coupons every day so I am anticipating ordering the books this week.  Each student will receive ONE book but I can order additional books for anyone who would like to purchase one.  The books are $5 each.  Please email me by tomorrow afternoon at pgoosen@highroadacademy.com  if you would like an additional book.

Thank you!!
