May 4 - 8

May the fourth be with you!!  Happy Star Wars Day!

Notes:

• The SAAG display is on until the first week of June.
• If you haven't yet, please send in a T-shirt for your child to make a very special art project with by tomorrow.  Students who don't have a shirt will not be able to participate in this project.
• The provincial elections will take place tomorrow.  Please be a voice for your child.  The current budget really harms our students with huge class sizes and very little support.  Clicking this link will take you to a site where you can find your local candidate by typing in your address.  This link takes you to "Stand Up for Schools" where you can learn more details about each party's position on education.
