Thursday, June 12, 2014

First, let me start by thanking all the staff and parents who have worked so hard over the last few weeks and months preparing for our Grade 8 Graduation that will take place tomorrow night. Our gym and lunchroom are being transformed as I write this for the festivities. The grade 8 students should be so proud of their accomplishments both inside and outside the classroom. We depend upon their leadership throughout their middle school years to help run many of the community activities including the Haunted House, Springfest and Play Days. We wish them the best of luck as they enter the next phase of their schooling. I'm sure they are going to have a great time in Quebec next week. 

This week, I had the opportunity to visit Ms. Walker's class and saw some students present their projects on the Environment. Ms. Walker asked the students to pick a topic of interest and research answers to three self-directed questions. It was evident the kids really enjoyed the topics and presented detailed presentations. I might have to get solar panels for my house now! 

Just a reminder that report cards will go home on the 26th. If you are not here that day, the report cards will be left in the office. You can pick them up the first week of July or the last week of August. You can also get someone to pick them up from the teacher on the last day. Please confirm with the teacher. 

I hope everyone has a great weekend and Happy Father's Day!
