Week End-Friday, May 10, 2013

I'd like to thank all of you for attending Springfest last Saturday. It turned out to be the perfect "Springfest" weather. I really want to thank all the parents who volunteered that day or on a planning committee. It takes a lot of people to host such a big event. A special thanks to Mrs. Needham (and her husband) for volunteering to be Chair this year. Once again, we appreciate your efforts and leadership!

I'd also like to thank Parent Council for funding our Aussie Rules workshops for our grade 4-8 students and also to Mr. Bracht for organizing the event. The students were blessed with great weather this week. It was an amazing experience as the kids had the opportunity to learn a new game.

This week, Mr. Lanis, myself and lots of parents and grandparents had the pleasure of attending  Mrs. Zappi's "Poetry Cafe". Each student memorized a poem and recited it in front of the audience and then coupled with another student to recite another poem. I am so proud of their accomplishments. Poetry is an art form the children explore in language classes and it is evident they spent a lot of time learning their poems! Congratulations kids!
