Classroom News - March 24

Thanks for all of the great conversations over the previous few nights at parent-teacher-student conferences.  Let's ALL work towards a fantastic term 3!

The Parkland College is looking to conduct a survey for grades 5-8 students.  Specific information was sent home yesterday.  Please sign and return the form ASAP as the 
actual survey will be conducted shortly after the Easter Break (beginning of April). 

KB still needs to sign and return the report card envelope!?!?!

Ask your son/daughter about the Easter egg dying fun, as well as the always-exciting Adventure Ed.!

The Easter Break runs from Friday, March 25 - Sunday, April 3.  YAHOO!

Homework:

Read a good book over the Easter Break!

Reminders:
- If you are looking for something to do tonight from 4:00-5:45, the Yorkton Martial Arts Training Centre will be hosting a "drop-in" wrestling introduction.  
A fundraising newsletter in support of our own VanSomeren family was sent home yesterday (fellow Grade 7 student in 7P).  In short, their family home was lost due to a house fire.  On Saturday, April 16, there will be a benefit supper at Tapps to help out the family.  If you are interested in attending the benefit supper (or simply want to make a donation), tickets are $25 each.  The deadline to purchase tickets is Friday, April 8.  Additional information can be found on the newsletter or by contacting the school.
