Looking forward to school starting next week.  I am especially excited to meet my NEW grade 2 students!  School starts back for students on Tuesday, September 6th.  I am busily preparing the classroom and getting everything ready for all the learning we are going to be doing.  Parents, please send students with their school supplies (including a pair of indoor shoes) on the first day of school.  Please ensure they have a good breakfast before school, and also send them with a morning snack and a substantial lunch too.


See you all next Tuesday!

Believe it or not, but this will be our last day of school!  We will only be at school for a half day on Wednesday.  We will be having a class "brunch".  Thank you in advance to those parents who volunteered to bring some snacks and brunch treats for our year-end morning party.  Students will be dismissed at 11:35am.   Report cards will be given out at the end of the day,  Students will bring the remainder of their items home today!

Wishing you and your families a beautiful, safe, and relaxing summer!  We had such an awesome year and I am going to miss all my students next year when they are in grade three!

Thank you to all the parents who have helped out with various events this year.  Volunteering in one way or another - either in the classroom, by driving to fieldtrips, supervising, or helping out with various projects.  I really appreciate all your support and I have enjoyed getting to know you and your children this year.  Happy Summer to you!!

Sincerely,
Miss Lilley

Due to the forecast of RAIN tomorrow, we are POSTPONING our Division 1 Sports Day.  It will NOT be held on Thursday, June 16th.  Instead it will be on:

TUESDAY, June 21st, 2016 from 10am-2pm.

Please remind your child to dress in his/ her assigned colour t-shirt to indicate which team they are on that day.  They should also wear comfortable runners (no sandals or flip flop shoes).  Students should bring a water bottle and be ready to be outside for most of the day!

If there are any parents who are interested in volunteering next Tuesday, please let me know.  We would love to have you join us, and we are in need of some parent helpers to run our session, and to help supervise.


Thank you for your support!  Please check back here often, as notices will be posted here with many end of school year activities.


Much appreciated!
Robyn

Hello Parents!

Next week is June already! We can hardly believe it!

We have a VERY busy week next week, and we could use your help with some events.

A newsletter was sent home yesterday, but in case you missed it, here is all the information again.

Upcoming Events in Miss Lilley’s Class

·        Monday, May 30^th from 12:45-1:45pm we will be building our boats.  Please send your child with materials to build a boat if you haven’t already done so. We will NOT have enough materials to supply each child.  It would be really handy if some parents could join us on that day to help in the class.  It would be WONDERFUL if parents could please bring in some hot glue guns and perhaps some extra duct tape on this day!!  The goal is for us to be able to float our boats successfully across Nicholas Sheran Lake in a few weeks!

·       Wednesday June 1^st from 12:45-3:05

We will have “Scientists in Schools” in Miss Lilley’s Class!  We are looking for about 5 parent volunteers who can assist with the centres on this day in the classroom.  Please let me know if you can come spend the afternoon with us!

·       Thursday, June 2^nd from 12:45-2:15pm is our trip to SAAG!  Arts Alive and Well in the Schools is an exhibit that features work from students in Lethbridge. Parent drivers are needed.  We will leave at 12:30 and return to school at 2:30.  This is always really fun.

·        Friday, June 10th from 1-2 we will be swimming at Nicholas Sheran Pool.  Thank you to the parent drivers who have already offered to drive and help supervise!

Our K-2 Sports Day is on June 16^th.  Please keep an eye out for more information coming regarding our boat launch.  These days are scheduled with hope of good weather.  Alternate days will be scheduled if necessary.

We are looking for volunteers for both of those events.  Thank you in advance.

thank you,

Miss Lilley

Fundraising for the Canadian Cancer Society

During the first week back after Easter, Mike Mountain Horse will be working on raising funds for Canadian Cancer Society. Perhaps you will see some family over the Easter break. We will be doing a cancer walk and we are asking our students to collect from family to help with our goal of raising $3000.00 for cancer research. Our beloved Mrs. Wik from preschool will have her head shaved at an assembly on April 19. Any students wishing to do the same are welcome to get a permission form from their teachers.

Easter Break

No school this Friday, March 24th, due to the Good Friday holiday.  Also no school next week from Monday March 28th - April 1st.  School will resume on April 4th, 2016.  Have a wonderful break.  Wishing you a restful and rejuvenating break whatever you and your family are doing.
