I hope you all have a fantastic long weekend! Remember it is extra long as there is no school on Tuesday for students due to a Professional Development Day.
Tomorrow is our 'Walk For Water' event. If you have any 4L milk jugs please send them in. Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately for the weather and is wearing comfortable walking shoes and sunscreen. They also should bring a water bottle so they can stop in for a quick drink before our second lap. All donations sent in before or the day of the event will be given to Haiti to provide clean water - $25 provides water for one person for a lifetime! Hopefully Fairview can make a difference in several people's lives.
Our Scientist this week were Jared, Ava, Rachel and Kamryn. We learned about dynamic water, how yeast can inflate (or start to inflate a balloon - unfortunately this didn't work as well as it did at home even though we tried it twice! - that's science!) and volcanoes. It was great to highlight the current volcano in Hawaii to make it more relevant. Please remember to check your child's date and practice reading the experiment at home so they are ready to present. So far everyone has done a great job!
We have booked a compost visit with Dan from Ridge Meadows recycling on June 4th and a field trip to the recycling depot on Friday, June 8th (9:15 start - drivers will be needed Please and Thank You!) a notice will be sent home on the parent portal soon. There is no cost for either activity.
Div. 8 &9 will be hosting a bake sale on Thursday, May 31st. As part o our compassion unit, we are trying to raise money for a 'buddy bench'. This is a place where students can go if they can't find anyone to play with so that they can connect with other students who are in the same situation. We would really appreciate if everyone could send in 1-2 dozen treats for us to sell that day. We also need parent volunteers to help set up at 9:30 and sell during recess (9:50- 10:25) and lunch (11:45 - 12:30). Thanks in advance for all your help with this special project.
Please check planners tomorrow for an important information sheet regarding supplies for next year.
Fun Day will be Friday, June 22nd. The PAC are looking for volunteers for this special day.
Thanks for sending in mystery bags on Wednesday. Most students were able to draw a name for a new book bag and seem very excited about their new books. If your child forgot theirs, please send in asap so they can get a new set of books.
Our field trip to Grouse Mountain is next Friday. All students must be signed up/paid for by May 23rd so that we can make alternate arrangements for those not attending. Thanks and a big thank you to all 8 of our parent volunteers. Also a reminder to please pay the$10 for your child's memory books if you haven't already done so, this can be done via the parent portal or by cash/cheque.
Have a wonderful weekend!
