May is Asian Heritage & Canadian Jewish Heritage Month
Kindergarten Orientation
Kindergarten Orientation is on Thursday May 29 from 5:30pm to 7:00pm. If you have registered a new student for Kindergarten for the 2025-26 school year, you are invited to attend. If you have not yet registered or if you know someone who needs to register and hasn’t, please encourage them to do so ASAP. We don’t want to miss anyone. We look forward to meeting all of our new kinder students at this open house event.
Freezie Fridays
We had our first Freezie Friday this past week. We will hold more of these days in the weeks to come. Please see the flyer that was sent home with your child or the posters that are in the windows of the doors at the school. Please note, there is a limit to 1 Freezie per student each week. This is sponsored by the Grade 6 Farewell Parent Committee. There will not be a Freezie Friday this week due to the Professional Learning Day on Friday.
Yearbook
We have received an extension for the yearbook. Please plan for your yearbook by the end of this week. May 30 deadline. Please contact the main office if you need the information again.
From the Office
The Lost & Found is Exploding with Great Clothes
With the warm weather comes the inevitable growth of the lost and found! Your children are choosing to shed their hoodies and jackets as they get too warm when on recess. All of these items eventually find their way to the Lost and Found cabinets.
Although we love to have a great space to collect these belongings, we are sad to see them so overflowing!
Please ensure you and your children are checking them regularly. If there is a specific item missing, please email your child’s teacher to get assistance in re-locating it again. We are always happy to re-unite the missing pieces with their owners.
From our School Council
Our next School Council meeting is Thursday, June 12 at 6:30pm. Gr. 2 will be presenting. The meeting will be held, in person, at the school.
Fun Lunch/Fun Snacks & Spirit Days
Our next Fun Lunch day is June 12. It is Taco Time.
Our next Spirit Day is Thursday, June 12. It is Tourist/Beach Day! Students are invited to dress up in their favourite summer wear … sorry no swim suits!! Don the shorts, tank tops, flip flops and zinc covered noses!! Bring on the Hawaiian patterns!!
Weekly Mantra
Take Time to Experience the Joy of Being Alive.
(SEL Competency – Self-Awareness & IELLF – Heart Domain)
In our busy lives, it’s easy to get caught up in schoolwork, activities, and Responsible. But it’s important to remember to take a moment to appreciate the simple joys of being alive. This mantra encourages us to slow down and savor the little things that make life special.
