Have a Great Summer!

I hope everyone has a great summer, and comes back well rested in the fall, and ready to learn and investigate together again. Hopefully I'll see you at the library and pool this summer!

Here are some last videos from the year!

We had lots of fun on June 18th at the Anchorage Park.

On June 16, the new kindergarten students came to school for the day.

On June 15, Mrs. Jones K/1 class and our grade 6 reading buddies from Ms. Kilburn's class went to the Whale Research Center and Pettes Cove Beach.

We had a great trip to the Whale Research Center!

Last Week of School!

I can't believe it's the last week of school all ready! Where has the year gone? We've had a great year, making many lasting memories! Everyone has made so much progress, grown so much, and learned so much. What will we do next year?

Please don't forget to return library books and pay any fines that you have (notes have been written in agendas), and return any books that belong to school (in reading bags, reading club, etc.). Also, don't forget to sign up for the summer reading program at the library, and for the free tutoring program if your child is having difficulty reading, or you just want to help them maintain their reading over the summer.

This last week is full of special events and odd dismissal times, so here is a last reminder of what I know is happening this week. Also, please remember that there is no cafeteria this week

June 15: K/1 Jones and 6 Kilburn (our reading buddies) vist the whale reasearch center and Pettes Cove beach 10:45-12:15; 1 GG visits the museum; Grand March for the prom is at 8pm

Memories of our trip to Fredericton!

We had a great trip to Fredericton. It was great to meet our "French Buddies" from L'Ecole Etincelle on Lameque Island. We toured the Legislative Assembly and had our picture taken with our MLA Rick Doucet, enjoyed a picnic lunch at Officer's Square, and had an awesome time at Science East! The children loved all the hands-on science activities and awesome oudoor play area. Thanks to the children for being so well behaved, and to all the parents who helped chaperone. You were a great group to travel with!

Anchorage trip postponed!

Our K-2 trip to the Anchorage has been postponed until next Thursday (June 18th) because of the rainy weather expected for the next couple of days.




We had an awesome time in Fredericton yesterday! I'll try to have a photostory ready to post by the end of the week.

Field Trip Week!

We had a great time at the conference in Toronto, and were very proud to represent our school and all of the wonderful things that we are doing here!

We won the National Technology Innovation Award for Eastern Canada!
