“Pencils tiny, erasers flat, glue empty, folders fat, crayons broken, desk

From the Desk of Ms. Cyrenne
Well, we are down to the last month of school. Every year seems to go
by faster than the year before. We have quite a few things happening
in June so you may be getting more reminder emails as the month goes
on.
I would like to take the time to thank everyone for the last six years that I
have been the principal at St. Agnes School. I have thoroughly enjoyed
getting to know our families and I appreciate how well we have all
worked together to make St. Agnes the best place for your children to
learn. I know that the new principal, Mr. Justin Clewis, will continue to
work hard for your children. I wish everyone well and hope to see you
at our year end barbeque to say goodbye. Have a wonderful summer!
Grade Eight Farewell
Our Grade Eight Farewell will be held on Friday, June 16th. The evening
will begin with mass at 6:00 p.m. at St. Joseph’s Church. There will be a

Holy Trinity Elementary Bands
Congratulations to all band students for a job well done on our annual school tour. The
grade 7 & 8’s worked hard and played very well! The grade 6’s shone as well. Overall it was
a very positive experience. I have heard so many positive comments about the
performances, and I know the grade 5’s are pumped about following in their musical
footsteps.
Our final concert is Sunday, June 4th, 7:00 p.m. at the Mae Wilson Theatre, admission by silver
collection. Please have all band students at the theatre by 6:45 p.m. Thank you to all who
have volunteered! If you are able to volunteer and have not yet indicated it, please send
an email to [email protected].
Grade 5 band registration is happening now! Grade 5 students will be introduced to the
different band instruments the first week of June. I will also be visiting the school to let the
grade 5’s try band instruments. Watch for newsletters being sent home in the near future!
Lastly, a huge thank you to my Holy Trinity band parents for all of your support throughout the
year. Your children have benefitted from all you’ve done to keep them going in music
education. Thank you for letting me work with your awesome kids. Good luck to the
grade 8’s as you move on to high school band and choir! Mr. Jim Mitchell
