April 27-May 1

Notes:
  • Thank you to all students who have brought items for our Leader in Me gift bags so far.  One item we are definitely missing is play dough.  If you have a free evening and would be willing to make a batch, we would be very grateful!  When we put the bags together on Wednesday, we can divvy it up into smaller portions so you don't need to worry about that.  I found a website here that gives different recipes.  It doesn't need to be fancy!!
  • Thanks also to everyone who supported the spring concert.  The students performed beautifully.
  • Please be sure to read the note about the T-shirts that went home last week.  Students who are unable to bring a shirt in will not be able to make this project and since it is for a gift, we really want all students to be able to participate.
  • Our class' nutcrackers are now on display at the SAAG.  I highly recommend paying them a visit to see how much incredible artistic talent we have in this city.
  • The district had a press release regarding the impact of the provincial budget on our district.  Please read it if you haven't already as this will have a big impact on your children.  Class sizes are already big and are only going to get bigger.  This is only one concern, the press release highlights more.  Click here to read, and VOTE on May 5th!
