Special recognition goes out to Sarah Willing and the PTA for all of their planning for last week’s movie night and teacher appreciation events. What an awesome support group for our school! We look forward to many great things to come! Thank you!

YARD DUTY: A BIG MAHALO to the PTTs, EAs, Support Team, Jan T, Lyle and adult supervisors who have volunteered to do yard duty for the next 2 weeks to help out our classroom teachers. Here is the revised yard duty schedule for the last 2 weeks of school. Teachers are of course welcome to come out for any recesses this week, but feel free to take a break-you deserve it!! We are planning to add several activities to keep the kids busy, active and out of trouble!! If you have a sub, please ask your sub to go out to recess duty according to your regular schedule. The more the merrier!
Thanks to those helping kindergarten and grade 1 this week Monday and Tuesday with testing. Attached is the coverage schedule…

Have a great week!
