First Week of May!

Today we reminded the children of appropriate dress wear during the next couple months of warm weather. We are strongly encouraging the following:

-no hats including any headgear (i.e. bandanna)
-tops need to cover bra straps
-pants need to cover undergarments
-skirts, shorts and dresses need to be just above the knee
-no inappropriate sayings or images on T-shirts

Please reiterate the importance of dressing appropriately, especially with any children in the older grades. We thank you in advance.

We hope to see all the volunteers at the Volunteer Tea on May 20th. If you have volunteered in the class, for a club, drove for a sports team etc, we would really like to see you there to thank you, in our small way, for all that you do to help us out.

If you are around the school on Tuesday, May 4th, please visit the grade 8 photography exhibition in the gym. The grade 8 classes, Mr. Blais' class and Mrs. Taylor's class under the direction of Mr. Elias have taken some beautiful shots of the environment and they will be on display between 8:15 and 4:30. You will also have an opportunity to vote for the top grade 8 piece to be displayed at the AGO in the Contact Photography Exhibition on May 14th.
