Dear Parents and Guardians,

Today your child will be coming home with a Mother's day gift. If possible, please put the gift bag in the refrigerator if you are not opening it until Sunday.

On Monday, the intermediates will be having their school track meet and the PAC is running a concession for all students. Most items at the concession (including hot dogs) will be sold for $1.00. Pre-orders will not be taken...Items will be sold on a first come, first serve basis.

On Wednesday we will be going on our fishing field trip to Edith Lake. Thank you so much to those parents who are able to drive and volunteer that day. The weather forecast calls for a day much like today (sunny and warm) so you may wish to apply sunscreen to your child. Please ensure your child is dressed for the weather and make sure you pack a big bottle of water.

Our next field trip will be on Tuesday, June 5th and we will be going to Isobel Lake.

I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend and HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all the Mom's out there!
