Dear Parents/Guardians,

With the school year coming to a close, you many want to think

about ways to help keep your children learning and growing through

the summer months. We encourage students and their parents to

develop a life long love of reading. Take advantage of the opportu-

nities presented by your local public library, many of which are free.

They have wonderful activities designed to motivate students to ex-

plore the world around them and develop their literacy skills at the

same time. Brampton Parks and Recreation also has lots of fun activi-

ties to keep kids from getting bored.

At this time of year we say good-bye and thank-you to staff who are

leaving us. The following staff have made a positive addition to

Edenbrook Hill PS and will be missed. Best wishes to: Ms. Fallis

(TA), Ms. Bailey (TA), Mr. Elston (Teacher), Mr. Martin (Teacher),

Ms. Bhullar (Teacher), Ms. Ming-Morgan (Teacher), Mrs. Crawford

(Teacher), Mrs. Riar (Teacher), Mrs. Patel (Teacher), Ms. Stum

(Teacher), Ms. Hedges (Teacher), Ms. Haugh (Teacher), Ms. Mac-

chione (Teacher), Ms. Sicondolfo (Teacher), Mr. Hackett (Teacher),

Ms. Rehal (Teacher), Ms. Cameron (ECE) and Mrs. Sornalingham

(ECE). Ms. Myers and Ms. Land have completed their assignments and

are working in schools on an occasional basis. Congratulations are

in order for two staff members who are retiring: Mrs. Cotton

(Teacher) and Mrs. White (Custodian).

We are finishing up student class placements for the fall. If you have

anything you would like the school to consider please send a note to

the office explaining the special circumstances that you would like us

to be aware of when building class lists for September.

Please take advantage of the ‘tear off’ on the last page if you would

like to enter a lucky draw for either one free week of YMCA day

camp this summer or Free Week voucher Aug 4 to 7, 2015 at Trillium

Summer Camp.

In closing, I would like to thank my good friend and Vice Principal,

Mrs. McCartney for her hard work and dedication. She has been pro-

moted and will be Principal of Cherry Tree Public School in the fall.

Cherry Tree PS is fortunate to be getting her. I would like to wel-

come our new Vice Principal Mrs. Delill who will join us in August.

Sincerely,

Colleen Lowry

Principal

Our Mission is to ―work together to enhance the quality of

our children’s education, promote an inclusive school environ-

ment and foster positive relationships within the community‖.

How to protect your

family from the sun?

Wear a hat (preferably

with a broad brim), sunglasses

and protective clothing on

sunny days.

Use sunscreen with a SPF

of 15 or greater whenever

you're outdoors.

Encourage your children to play in shady areas if they are

outside for a long period of time.

Remember that sunburn can occur even on a cloudy day, as up

to 80 per cent of UV rays can penetrate light clouds, and 40

per cent of UV rays can bounce back from sand, water or

concrete.

Summer activities that

boost learning K to Gr. 4

dishes of similar sizes and

shapes. Also have your

nizing the shapes of let-

ters and numbers. Comic strip writing – Use

comic strips to help with

writing. Cut the segments

of a comic strip apart and

ask your child to arrange

them in order. Then ask

your child to fill in the

words of the characters

(orally or in writing).

Ask your child which ob-

drop the objects in the

water, one by one, to see

what happens.
