Dear Parents,

It sounds like everyone enjoyed their Spring Break, your children had lots of exciting stories to share!

Updates/Reminders/Thank you's

*our 'ACT Theater' field trip to see the Lion King is coming up on April 20th.  Please sign your child up via the parent portal if you have not already done so.  At this point we only have parent drivers for 6 children.  You will need to have a driver's abstract on file  if you are willing/able to drive children other than your own. Please note:  I only have 1 extra ticket for a parent and this spot has already been filled.  That parent, however, has offered to give her ticket up if anyone 'has their heart set on seeing the play'.   Please see me or send me an email at Amanda_Roberts@sd42.ca if that applies to you.


*Just a reminder to please send in your $2 for the SPCA presentation and $10 for memory books if you have not already done so.  Students who have not paid for the memory book will not be receiving the book/photos/photo collages etc.  I would appreciate it if everyone who would like to receive one pays by the end of April as I will begin the process of developing photos at that time.

*next Thursday all of the primary classes will be beginning our  F.A.L.C.O.N F.U.N  This will be an outdoor learning opportunity for all primary students.  You will soon receive a portal announcement with more information.

F is for forest

A is for awe and wonder

L is for learning 

C is for community 

O is for outdoors 

N is for nature 

F is for friendship

U is for understanding

N is for new appreciation for our earth

In support of this program we are asking that you please:

1 )Note these dates on your calendar (April 6^th, April 20^th, May 4^th, May 18^th and June 1^st)

2)Send your child appropriately dressed for the weather as we will be outside rain or shine

3)If you have not already done so, please send in an extra set of clothes in case of accidents

**Please note that we will be doing some projects that will require organic materials.  If anyone has any stones, shells, pinecones, dried flowers, leaves, burlap etc. that you would like to donate please see your child’s teacher.  Thanks so much!

Have a great weekend, everyone!
