Yesterday, we hosted our Extra-Curricular Assembly for the students. The students who participated in any extra-curricular club or sport were recognized. It's really important for the students to be recognized for their efforts and it gives the younger students a chance to get excited about clubs or sports that they may want to try in an upper grade.
Although it's the last week, the kids still have lots to share. Last Friday, the grade 4 students presented their Medieval projects in the lunchroom for the classes to tour. The projects were outstanding. The projects were inquiry based giving the students an opportunity to explore a topic of their choice about the Medieval times. I saw projects on art, religion, weapons and war formations to name a few. It was evident the student's really expanded their learning.
Yesterday, the Game Design Club, under the direction of Mr. Kuru, Mr. Littlejohn and Mr. Ross, presented their games to many of the classes in the school. The students had the opportunity to play each other's games. I gave a few of the games a try and they were so much fun. This club has been such a hit with the students and it has taught them so many skills. The teachers are hoping to expand it to accommodate more students next year.

As you know, report cards will go home today. Yesterday, I included my June year-end report in the Grade Parent email, so if you get the chance, please read it as it contains valuable information for next year. Also, in the email is an anti-spam consent form that you'll need to complete if you want to continue to receive any information from the school regarding fundraising events held at the school (i.e. Springfest, Grade 8 Yearbooks, Gym T-shirts, Terry Fox information, etc.). It is vital that you complete this form as new legislation regarding anti-spam takes effect on July 1st. The link to the consent form is:

I'd like to end my last blog of the year with a photo of a piece of artwork produced from one of our grade 7 girls. This multi-media piece represents a quote that truly embodies what we should all strive to live by and one that we continue to instill in the children....
