*thank you to all of our parent drivers for taking us to the field trip today and to the Loveridge family for showing us around their dairy farm
*next Friday we will be presenting an environmental poem after Family Reading if anyone would like to attend.  It will be short (and not very polished :)) but we like the poem and would enjoy sharing it with you

June 7/18

Hi Everyone,

Just to let you know, I have now updated the June calendar on this website.  As usual, June is shaping up to be a busy month :)

Updates/Reminders/Thank you's

*I still have a few people who haven't paid for their child's memory book.  If you aren't sure if you have paid, please email me at amanda_roberts@sd42.ca  (Cost:$10)
*Thank you in advance to the parents who are helping us by driving to the recycling depot field trip tomorrow.  I sent home a detailed email yesterday with information regarding this outing. This included a list of parent drivers and how many children you will be transporting.
*Our grade 7 students are putting on a Entrepreneur Fair next Thursday.  All items for sale have been made by the students and will cost between $1-$5.  Some of you may have received a 'pre-order' form if your child was interested in purchasing a mug or notebook that is personalized.
*Please sign up for the farm field trip if you have not already done so.  A big thank you to the parents who have already volunteered to drive and especially to Nevaeh's family for inviting us to see the farm.
*Reminder that our Volunteer Appreciation Tea (that's for you! :)) is next Tuesday afternoon.  Please send in your RSVP by tomorrow so that our committee can accurately shop for the event.  If you can't make it but have volunteered in any capacity  this year, I'd like to take the opportunity to personally thank you for your help.  It is much appreciated!
*Here are a few photos of our class doing pottery with Mrs. Howarth's class.  They were kind enough to share the pottery techniques that they had learned and we loved getting messy and creating art!
*We also had a great visit with Dan on Monday and learned a lot about earthworms (see below)
