Hello Families,

Please note the following information: 

We will be travelling downtown on Wednesday May 18th to explore various bridges as part of our building unit in Science.  I will be needing parent volunteers to assist in this field trip.  If you are able to volunteer and have a police security clearance please send me an email at ldkowalczyk@cbe.ab.ca

Grade 3 students will also be hosting a Character Education Assembly towards the end of May. Our theme for the assembly is based around Global Citizenship and making a positive difference in the local and global community.  As part of the assembly the Grade 3 teachers would like to make a slideshow featuring our Grade 3 students as babies.  This will be a sweet way to say farewell to our Grade 3's and showcase how our world's future is in the hands of these babies:) We are asking parents to please email a baby photo to their classroom teacher by May 13th so that we can compile and make the slideshow in time for the assembly.

UPDATE: We also have a tentative field trip booked Tuesday May 17th for the Calgary Zoo.  This will depend on bussing availability.  Please email me if you have a police security clearance and are able to volunteer on the 17th and/or 18th
