As we head into the final two months of the school year, students and staff continue to make every day a meaningful day of learning. I often get asked if we are winding down. In fact, we are only getting busier. While trying to complete the day-to-day and year-end tasks, we are busy planning for next year as well.
Congratulations to the SY band who performed very well at the Chicago Band Festival at the end of April. Good luck to our grade 7’s who are performing at their first festival in Winnipeg on May 1.
Thanks to all parents (and students) who came out to parent-teacher and student showcase of learning evening. The goal of the evening was to have parents connect with our school and find out a bit more about what their child is learning. The feedback from those that attended was very positive and we will certainly do it again next year.
During the week of May 6 – 10, our social justice committee, together with our guidance department, is hosting a Mental Health week. The theme of the week is self-care. Throughout the week, students will be encouraged to participate in activities that promotes wellness and happiness. On Friday, May 10, students and staff will enjoy a pancake breakfast to promote our sense of community. Later that day, students and staff will go out and clean up a bit of the winter garbage that has been strewn around town.
Spring is also a great time to get in some learning trips. Teachers of various grades are looking at the educational opportunities that can extend the learning beyond the classroom.
Grad preparations are well under way. Grad photo field trip is on Friday, May 31. Information about the grad banquet and ticket costs will be sent home shortly. Grads and parents are reminded to check the website regarding scholarship opportunities.
