Spring Musical: Thank you to all of you who have already brought props for our Spring Musical! If you want to see what other props are still needed please got to: http://flask.io/j5vR9
Is your child part of the cast or crew of the Musical? We would like to plan and host a cast and crew party after the afternoon performance on Thursday, March 10, but we will need some families to take this on. Please reply below.
Staff Appreciation Luncheon Help Needed: We need a team of volunteers willing to plan, prepare and host the Staff Appreciation Lunch on June 8. We usually serve about 25 people. Last year we served Greek food, the year before Trinidadian food. There are many possibilities depending on what the team of volunteers would like to do. A potluck may work well? Costs will be covered by the PAC. This is a fun way to get to know and thank our staff. Interested? Please reply below.
Grade 4/5 Science World Field Trip Update: The bottle/can collection has raised approximately $850 so far to go towards this field trip! Keep bringing in those recyclables on Mondays. Thank you!
Learn to Read Books: Please keep an eye out on the school website for the work party announcement to finish covering the readers once we’ve received supplies.
