SCHOOL COUNCIL
A big thanks for all your support as we start to wind down the school year. Here’s an update on our April & May events:

Plantables seedling fundraiser. Some families may have already got their deliveries. We invite you to post some pictures on the Facebook pages as you plant and grow your veggies, etc. We would love to see the results (cucamelons, we’re looking at you!) We raised $348.80 for our school.

Dominos Raising the Dough night. We are pleased to announce that Mr. Hopkin’s grade 4 class was the winning class and will receive a party before the end of the year. We are happy to share that the $258.00 dollars raised will go back to the school. Our apologies if the ordering was not as smooth as it has been in the past. Between a system upgrade and some locations not receiving our codes, we thank all that persevered and got an order placed.

As always, follow/join the facebook groups for more updates on social media.
