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)
