Pike Lake, Raise-a-Reader Picnic, Pooh Corner, and waste-free lunch

What a busy, but wonderful week we've had!  We had a great fun-filled day at Pike Lake on Wednesday, and today we heard Victoria School's amazing grades 5, 6, and 7/8 bands perform and read with care partners and parents and enjoyed a subway picnic lunch.  It was great to see so many parents come out to read with their children today!  Also, a big thank you to the parents who came with us to Pike Lake - your contribution to the successful day was greatly appreciated.

On Monday, the students will be heading to the Public Library Pooh Corner with Mme Tessmann and Mme Ollerhead's grade 2 class.  We have collected some of the students' library cards for this event, but if you have not sent your child's card in already, make sure that you do so on Monday.

Next Thursday, June 13th is our Boomerang Waste-free lunch day, where students will be asked to use as little waste in their lunches as possible (and whatever waste they have, they will keep in their lunch kits to be thrown out at home).  Here is a catchy music video that the school watched during our last assembly in order to help inspire us to use less waste on a daily basis.  It is called Plastic Ocean, and it is sung by students in a school in Hong Kong:
