Hi everyone!

Well here we are the last week before Easter break.  The students did a wonderful job sharing their love for our One School One Book project, Charlotte’s Web! While we’re sad to see the book end, we are thankful that we had the chance to read such a wonderful, timeless story. Thank you for making the reading come alive at home!

To celebrate the ending, all MMH students are invited to see the Chinook High School theatre performance of Charlotte’s Web! We will be going this week on Tuesday, March 31^st.  A bus will be at MMH at 9am to pick up the Grade 1 students to go and enjoy the show.  Wow!! Aren’t we lucky!?

On Wednesday, April 1^st we are going to the gym in the afternoon to watch the Grade 4 and 5 Airband performance from 12:30-2pm.

On Thursday, April 2^nd students are invited to dress in a “Fancy Theme”! We will have a school spirit assembly at 8:30am, and then throughout the day each class will have their own Easter activities planned.  This is the day we will be enjoying Easter treats.  Teachers will email the parents who signed up to bring these at the beginning of the year.

Remember that students are on Easter break starting Friday, April 3^rd, and will return to school on Monday April 13^th.  Don’t forget to keep reading over the break!!  Raz kids is a great program for this, or you can also visit your public library. 

A quick reminder of our next 2 field trips planned.  If you are able to drive for any of the below dates/ times, please email your class teacher! Even drop offs/ pickups are helpful:

Helen Schuler Field Trip
April 16^th: Mrs Johnson’s class in the AM, Mrs. Payne’s class in the PM
April 21^st: Mrs. Fallwell’s class in the PM
April 22^nd: Miss Tsentouros’ class in the pm

Southern Alberta Art Gallery
April 29^th: Mrs. Payne’s class in the AM, Miss Tsentouros’ class in the PM
May 7^th: Mrs. Fallwell’s class in the am
May 21^st: Mrs. Johnson’s class in the am

Thank you to those parents who have already signed up to help!

Lastly, we are looking to see if there are any parents interested in taking care of our recycling program.  This would entail picking up the Grade 1 bottle recycling and taking it to the depot for us.  If you are interested can you please email your Grade 1 teacher?  Recycling pick up usually happens once every two weeks. 

I think that’s it for now! Wishing you a great Easter holiday with your families. 

Thank you,

Your Grade 1 teachers.
