Busy week.

This is a busy week indeed, starting with tomorrow. Tomorrow evening at 6:30 pm, the Drama group is performing "Welcome to Grand Manan". There is no admission but donations would be greatly appreciated to help out with travel costs on the 22nd. They are going to Drama Fest in St. George.
The play will also take place for K-5 at 9:00am on April 21st.
The Music Festival begins Wednesday evening at 7:30 pm and runs Thursday morning. Check out the posters in the community for details. There will be no cafeteria on Thursday for K-6, I believe. We will be eating in our classroom.
April 24th is our monthly assembly at 1:20 pm in the Great Hall.
Homework is due on or before Friday and please remember to read every day.

Snow is melting fast !

This week our April book orders are due. I will take any orders up until Friday.
Please see that your child has his/her homework in, on or before Friday, along with the reading log. I have not seen many reading logs these last couple of weeks. We have been working hard on our comprehension stories and questions in preparation for our assessment coming up in May. Please listen to your child read and ask him/her questions about the stories.
Also, lice is still "on the go". If your child has long hair, it would be a good idea to tie it up.
Next week, April 20th is a regular school day. The professional learning for teachers scheduled for that day is not happening because of the number of "snow days" we have had. The evening of April 20th, the Elementary Drama Club will be performing "Welcome to Grand Manan" at 6:30 pm in the Great Hall, no charge, but donations are welcome. April 21st. they will perform at 9:00 am for the K-5 students. The next day they are off to St. George to take part in the Drama Festival. It will be a busy week. Our Music Festival is also taking place that week, more details to follow.
I hope you noticed the big red envelope in your child's bookbag, it is the Jump Rope for Heart Campaign. The information is enclosed. Also the library has a contest going which includes all the necessary information you need for your child to enter. Good things are happening!
