Swimming

June 3 we will be swimming at Nicholas Sheran from 10 – 11. We will leave the school at 9:30 and be returning just after 11. Thank you to the following volunteers for driving and some who will also be helping to supervise! All students need to make sure they have their suits, towels and brushes etc. for after swimming. Please keep in mind that if your child is a weak swimmer they are limited to where they can play in the pool and your supervision helps greatly.

I hope that you are all off to a great start with Grade 2 boat building. The students were SO EXCITED about the process during our discussions and lessons in class. Boats are due back at the school no later than June 10^th. Please e-mail or call me if you any questions. The boat launch will be on June 13^th and is an all-day event!
