June Dates

Wow!  I am still in denial that we are this close to the end of the year!  I’m going to be so sad to say goodbye to this class.  They are such a delight!  It’s been a joy to be their teacher!

Having said that…we do still have a whole month ahead and what a busy and exciting month it is!  Here are some important dates to mark on the calendar:

Wednesday, May 25 – Knight Day: Children may wear their knight shirts and casual bottoms.

Monday, May 30 – Spring Sing Concert (K-12): Please drop your child off in our classroom at 6:40 wearing their knight t shirt and a pair of jeans.  The program will begin at 7 pm.  The Kindies will sit together as a class.  You may pick them up at the end of the concert.

You may have heard that Nate Loewen, one of our highschool teachers (and former HRA student), is moving in a few weeks to Indonesia with his wife (also a former HRA student) and their three children (preschool, Grade 1, and Grade 3) to be missionaries there.  We are planning to take up a love offering during the Spring Sing Concert to bless them and help them with their moving expenses.

Wednesday, June 1 – 100 Day: Please see your child’s planner for information on preparing a 100 day collection and bringing in one food item for our 100 piece snack.

Wednesday, June 8 – Cupcake Sale

We will also be raising money for the Loewen family through a cupcake fundraiser.  The cupcakes will be provided by the parents of the preschool, grade 1 and grade 3 classes.  Each cupcake will be $ 1.  If you would like your child to purchase a cupcake please send a loonie with them to school on that day.

Wednesday, June 15 – Noon Dismissal

Thursday, June 16 – “Moving on Up” grade exchange:  The Kindies will be visiting the grade one class for a fun activity time in the morning. This will help give them an idea of what next year might be like!

Wednesday, June 22 – K-3 Fun Day: noon dismissal.  Stay tuned for more information.

Thursday, June 23 – Kindie Grad (am) and K/1 fieldtrip (pm)

 

 

Our Butterfly Release

You may have already heard that today we released our butterflies.  It was pretty special.  We got on our coats after calendar time and walked over to the Highroad garden.  We said our goodbyes and then opened the cage.  You would have thought that those little guys would’ve zipped right out but it actually took a little while for them to realize that they could leave the cage and fly free!  We were a little sad to let them go and I think that they might have been a little sad to leave because they stayed close by for a while, long enough to get some awesome pictures.  I hope you enjoy!
