Hey everyone!
Just a few quick reminders about the LAST 9 DAYS OF SCHOOL!! (AH!)
Thank you for all the parent help and encouragement for our Grade 2 Boat Launch! We lucked out with great weather and the kids had so much fun! They were so played out when we returned to the school (…and Friday morning believe it or not!) and it’s just awesome on those days when we get to get out of the school and do something in the community.
Our last full week of school is upon us, and we’ve got some fun events happening, starting on this Tuesday June 19th – SPORTS DAY! This activity is WEATHER PENDING! If it’s raining, we will try and find an alternative day that works for Kindergarten, Grade 1 and 2.
I have had lots of parents sign up to help, and will contact those parents in regards to time/ activities. If you are able to come and cheer your kid on, Sports Day runs all around the playground from 10-11:30, and from 12:45 to 2. On that day, your child will be asked to wear a specific colour of T shirt, and they will write that colour in their Agendas on Monday.
In the last notice I had sent home, I had mentioned a Class Breakfast party. Thank you to those parents who had signed up to bring treats for our End of Year Party- I will email you to remind you what you signed up for. Rather than have this Breakfast party on Thursday June 28th as originally mentioned, the date has been moved to Friday June 22nd
The last week of school will be VERY busy. On Monday June 25th at 9:00am we have our Farewell Assembly where we say good bye to staff members who are leaving the school.
Tuesday June 26th is our MMH Swim Day- thank you for filling out forms regarding your swimming level. It’s going to be a very fun, busy day, and we want to ensure the safety of our students. I feel confident because we have LOTS of parents coming to swim with their kids, and it’s going to be a lot of fun! Students will be able to bring a SMALL amount of money if they wish to purchase 1 snack from the canteen. They will be responsible in bringing/ keeping their own money. We’ll send out a reminder beforehand for what they need to have (bathing suit, towel, easy change of clothing) before we go. We’ve also had a TON of drivers sign up for this trip which is awesome! Because parking is apparently a bit of a nightmare, we’ll try and make sure we make it as easy as possible on everyone! Looking forward to a fun time on this day!
Thursday June 28th is our LAST day of school. We will clean up/ visit in the classroom until morning recess. After morning recess, we will head to the gym to watch the Year End Slideshow, which usually takes us right until lunch time where we say our good byes! The Year End Slideshow is always fun to watch if you’re able to make it!
Well there we have it! We’re getting down to the last wire!
Thanks for reading, and have a wonderful weekend!
-Anna and Grade 2B
