Thank you to all students who brought back their library
books last week. I am so proud to say that you have
taken such good care of them!!
I am almost done going through the list. So, if there are
any books that need to be returned I will send a letter
home to parents with the information indicating what
book is lost and needs to be found.
If book is not found or may be damaged, library policy
states that the cost of the book will be charged to student
to replace it.
It was a lot of fun doing the different library activities
each month with the students. I already have some fun
things planned for 2015-2016. Don’t forget to…….
As the year winds down a reminder to
everyone about the potluck supper farewell
and grade 4-8 recognition evening on
June. 25th. Potluck supper will begin at 6:30pm.
Then the students from grade 4-8’s, will be
presented with recognition of their personal
achievements for the 2013/2014 school year.
We will bid farewell to the grade 8's and those
who will be leaving us for other adventures and
show the year end video. They are available for
purchase again this year. Potluck will be first
with the recognition to follow.
Video Yearbooks and Picture Files will be
available for sale on a USB stick again this
year at a cost of $20.00.
For those who purchased a USB stick last
year from us and still have it, there will be lots
of room on the USB stick. Just bring the USB
Stick in so we can add this year to it and you

We had a lot of positive feedback about the

of their own GPS unit as they discovered historic
buildings in the town site. Thank you to Val and
George from Friends of the Park for this great
learning experience. Now your child can tell you a
bit about how the water from Clear Lake becomes
clean enough to drink thanks to the informative
tour of the Water Treatment Plant by Mr. Spitula.
