Dear families,

Wow - the last week of school! It was a fun and busy week as we finished our learning about summer and talked about what to expect next year in SK and Grade One!

Our Senior Kindergarten Graduation was on Tuesday. Thank you so much to our SK Parents who provided a beautiful cupcake-cake for the children, along with fruit, juice and cheese snacks, as well as cutlery and napkins. The children had a great day and are excited about next year!

This week the SKs wrote about what they would like to be when they grow up. On the other side of that page is "I would like to tell my Grade One teacher..." I think your child's Grade One teacher would love to see this in September!

The children also completed a colouring activity about boating safety and wearing life jackets. They finished their Canada Day Fireworks art and it looks awesome.

Thank you so much to Stella's mom who helped out this week in the computer lab.

Today, the last day, was Pizza-Lunch-on-the-Lawn. Thank you so much to the parent who volunteered their time with this too - Andrew's dad, Ellie's mom, Hannah's mom, and all the other parents who helped make it a success.

We met with our Reading Buddies today and for a special surprise watched "Finding Nemo" together.

I would like to say a huge Thank You to Theresa and Mary for all their help this year as fantastic Grade Parents. Being a Grade Parent takes an enormous amount of time, organization and energy, and one big reason this year ran so successfully with all our parent volunteers was thanks to Mary and Theresa's work. Thank you again to all the parents who volunteered their time in the classroom this year - the children loved seeing you in their environment!

Thank you as well to Miss. Nisker who also helped make this year terrific.

Finally, thank you so much for the wonderful teacher gifts... I love teaching and I feel enormously grateful for the lovely children and families I get to work with each day.

I hope you have a safe and fun summer, and I will see you in September!

Mrs. Tyndall
