Fell yesterday stand today

Teachers shared great ideas for school improvement projects—this is so exciting!
Heard many times this week: It’s like Christmas!

Check our Grade 6 students in this video Clip from the Elementary Performing Arts Festival back in April:

Boxes for packing up classrooms have arrived—in the current boot room.
Gym occupied by Secondary exams until noon on Tuesday, June 19^th.
We will have a year-end assembly for Elementary on June 22^nd with a few awards, but most awards will wait for the first assembly coming back in 2018-19.
If it is rainy on Friday, June 22^nd, the Bouncy Castle will be in the gym. Otherwise, it goes in the yard as usual.
The school will likely be off limits during the summer because of the projected flooring project so we will be collecting keys at the end of June.
