MARCH 8, 2014 NEWS LETTER Hello everyone, as you know, we had our Mother and Daughter and our Father and Son banquets, both were tremendous successes. We had well over 150 people for the mother and daughter and over 200 for the father and son. We wish to thank everyone for participating and supporting these events. I trust the parents who won prizes are still enjoying them.

Bev Lambert taught all our K-9 students how to jig and they performed routines for the moms and daughters.

Some of the ladies enjoying themselves…

Here is Bev with our Grade 4 class…

The Grade 5s also did an amazing job dancing with their cool outfits and head dresses.

There was a large audience enjoying the show.

Our plan this year was and is to expose our students to as many unique experiences as humanly possible. So far we have been able to accomplish some of that goal. We have made several ski trips, attended a number of tournaments and several career fairs. We are coming up on the field trip season and we’re excited about the

number of field trips that are planned. Thanks to all the parents and friends who assisted our students with ALL their fund raising.

Open wide and say ahhh!

I don’t care what you say, this student is NOT bigger than her teacher, it’s just the angle of the camera.

Enjoy a peaceful and restful Easter holiday, see you on April 28. Parting thought: If you go on FACEBOOK, please say something positive, don’t be like

so many others, enjoy this Easter.
