Welcome Back!

We hope everyone had a great Spring Break!

We're excited to announce we had a fantastic and successful Book Fair fundraiser! Thank you to everyone for helping support our school's library. Extra thanks to Kelly and her team of volunteers (both students and parents) for working hard to ensure a well-organized and fun event!

Our next PAC Meeting will be Tuesday, April 12th at 6:30pm in the School Library. Free child-minding will be available. Please contact the PAC for any questions or ideas for discussion.

For the rest of the school year the PAC will be hosting monthly Hot Lunches, Movie Nights and some special events such as an Easter Egg Hunt and a Mother's Day Breakfast. Please check out the PAC Calendar for specific dates.

School Thank You to the PAC

In March, the PAC decided to donate $75 to each division as part of the fundraising efforts through the hot lunches. Thank you to all of the parents involved in making that possible, especially to Sherri R who has been leading the charge with the hot lunches for the second half of this school year. The time spent coordinating the food orders, cooking all of those meals and setting the place mats out for each student is very much appreciated!

Division 6

The little ones have been learning Yoga. Each student helped to demonstrate a few of the poses they have been practicing at our recent school assembly; Shark, Dog, Table and Doll. Yoga is a great way to be active yet it is also a strategy to learn how to be calm!

Division 4

Measurement comes to life! Students have been learning to make realistic estimates of lengths and check for accuracy with a meter stick and then compare the two values.

They have also investigated the relationship between different tools that are not typically used for measuring. For example, did you know that it would take 120 million paper clips, end to end, to stretch across Canada?!?

Division 2

Pysanky eggs! Students worked with guest artists to create their own original and authentic pysanky egg, true to the form and style of this traditional Ukranian art form. Please come and see their beautiful creations on display next to the main office.
