Hi Everyone,

We are all very excited about our field trip to Grouse tomorrow.  We hope the weather holds! :)

This will be a brief post as you all received a lengthy email yesterday regarding our field trip tomorrow.

Updates/Reminders/Thank you's

*thank you to our parent volunteers who are joining us for our Grouse trip tomorrow! (Mrs. Dhembi, Mrs. Krenbrink, Mrs. Kriel, Mrs. MacMhuirich and Mrs. Koshlay)  Please remember to bring a back pack to help carry lunches.  Clearly labeled, bagged lunches only, please.
*our next 'Mystery Bag' trade in will be next Wednesday.  Please ensure that your child has their book bag so that they can join in the fun :)  There is a lot of enthusiasm around drawing names for trading and the books themselves seem to be a big hit!
*a second school supply form was sent home yesterday. This was because I didn't check the forms before passing them out the first time so some students ended up with the wrong grade.  Sorry for the confusion.  Mrs. Evans has asked us to notify you that the  lists for each grade are now posted on the Fairview website in the 'Parents' section and can be printed if needed.
*a parent portal announcement will be sent to you tomorrow about our upcoming field trip to the recycling depot on June 8th.  Parent drivers will be needed for this.
*next week I will put up a permission form for our field trip to Nevaeh's family farm on June 14th.
*our bake sale to raise money for our school buddy bench is next Thursday, May 31st.  Baked goods and volunteers are needed.  Please see info pasted below from last week's blog for specific details.  Thank you all for your donations of baked goods and for sending in money so that your child can also purchase a treat.  Please email me at:  amanda_roberts@sd42.ca if you are able to volunteer at recess and/or lunch.

*we are hoping to host a bake sale on Thursday, May 31st.  As part of our compassion unit, we are trying to raise money for a 'buddy bench'.  This is a place where students can go if they can't find anyone to play with so that they can connect with other students who are in the same situation.  We would really appreciate if everyone could send in 1-2 dozen treats for us to sell on that day.  We also need parent volunteers to help set up at 9:30 and sell during recess-(from 9:50-10:25) and lunch 11:45-12:30)

Have a great weekend, everyone!
