This Friday at 11:30 a.m., as a part of our monthly Good Shepherd Lives in Me assembly, our Violin Club will be having their inaugural performance.

Just a reminder that tomorrow will be Popcorn Day here at the school! Your child can bring a loonie and they will receive a bag of popcorn. The profits will go to help subsidize costs for the grade six grad camp happening in June! Thanks in advance for your support.

A number of our division two students attended the Young Authors Conference on Saturday which was held at Holt Trinity Academy. They had some great guest speakers talking to them about the writing process and they even had the opportunity to put what they learned into action. A big thank you to Madame Ottenbreit and Miss Seegers for all the work they put into this great day.

We are down to just under two weeks until our grade five/six production of High School Musical Jr. The actors and teachers are giving up their own Saturday today to have a few big run throughs.

Our grade 4 classes celebrated the Resurrection of Jesus with Easter "Sundaes" today. Thank you to our parents who came in to help hand out. They did an amazing job explaining the significance of each ingredient. Each ingredient in the sundaes represents an aspect of the Easter story. There is white ice cream for purity and Oreo crumbs for our sins. There was also a toothpick, a cherry, strawberry sauce and whipped cream. Can you guess what those ingredients represent?

Yesterday we had our annual staff awards luncheon. It’s always great when we can celebrate all the amazing work our staff has been doing over the course of the year.

Special congratulations goes out to the following staff members this year… Matthew Bassett - Christian Witness Award Jenna Beaton - Excellence in Teaching Award Angela Tsimaras - Above and Beyond Award Kelly Galloway - The Power of One Award

Happy Friday! We are just wanted to send you a little reminder before you head off for the weekend! Have a wonderful weekend and thank you always for trusting us with your children and for all that you do for our school.

Today our grade six classes were lucky enough to have a visit from our mayor, Mrs. Tanya Thorn. She came in to discuss the roles of the mayor and town councillors in local government. This is a major part of the grade six social studies curriculum as they learn about the various levels of Canadian government and democracy. #egssgrade6

This morning we had students in grade five and grade six writing the Mathematica Centrum test in the library. This is annual math contest that the school participates in for students across Canada. There were definitely some tough questions on the test but the students worked hard and were well prepared. They will be waiting patiently until we get the results in early June.
