Lower School Canada Day Celebration

On Tuesday, June 22nd, the Lower School is having an early Canada Day celebration! Students are invited to wear red and white to celebrate our country’s birthday, and in the spirit of celebration, we will be spending the afternoon outside soaking in the sun and getting soaked in the sun. The school will provide water toys and Chapman’s peanut free ice cream treats, but we are looking for a few brave parents who are willing to lend us some kiddy pools for the afternoon. We also welcome any parents who wish to volunteer, although we will already have ample supervision. If you are able to do either of these things, please let your child’s teacher know as soon as possible.

 

 

Please make sure your child brings the following to school on this day:

o Sunscreen, sunglasses, hat

o Bathing suit

o Towel

o Shoes that are okay to get wet (no flip flops, please)

o Water bottle/juice

o Please do not send water guns or other water toys.

 

If the weather continues in its recent fashion, we will move the party indoors to the gymnasium (minus the water toys, of course) for an afternoon of dancing and games.


Soap Box Derby

The Rotary Club Soap Box Derby Race was held on June 5 in Okotoks. As part of the Grade 4 Science curriculum students built cars to enter the race. All students were involved in constructing the cars but only a few were able to drive. The drivers this year were: Aubrey Horbachewsky, Emiko Antal, Mckenna Geddes, Shayne Tripp, Brendan Wagner, Sawyer Eirikson, Scott Martinson, and Justin Lisoway. Parker Antal was also a driver for a sponsored car. Several drivers received ribbons for winning the final heat and Emiko was given an award for the most original costume. Thanks to all car sponsors and those who came to support the drivers!


Library Books

All library books are now due; there will be a $10 charge for any lost books.
