Easter

In three days we will all be enjoying a very late spring break.  I hope that you are able to refresh yourself as we enter into the season of year filled with renewal and regrowth.

My experience at STF council last week was incredible.  Having an opportunity to speak to teachers on a provincial level, and be involved in the policy renewal of the Federation was really powerful.

This week I will be busy scribing exams.  With the break comes the feeling that it is time to wrap up units, so there are several quizzes and exams in the junior high and high school.

Hope to see you all at the Fundraiser for the arena!
Happy Easter

Keeping Up

Well, this is a very busy week for me with Music Festival in Lloydminster and an STF Spring Council meeting in Saskatoon Thursday through Saturday.

Mrs. Priest will be in for me on Thursday and she was also in for me this morning.  It is wonderful that we have such talented guest teachers, I always know they can handle things while I am away.

I know that the students are all excited about the dance on Friday, with the wonderful Spring weather it should be a terrific event.

Carrie and Crystal will be here on Tuesday, and I know that Amanda is finalizing the reports for some students she has seen this past month.

Spring Fever

Well, the snow is melting and the students are all showing signs of spring in their choice of clothing and in an increased desire to be outside.  I for one am in total agreement with their sentiments. 

Carrie will be at the school on Wednesday this week and will be bringing an SLP intern with her.  I believe that we will have some extra time with this intern which of course will benefit our students. 

The grade 2/3 field trip tomorrow to the interval home has seen many donations arrive at the school for them to deliver.  It is really terrific to see the community support for this idea which came from the students themselves.

Mr. Hart is sporting a new hair cut thanks to the student in Paradise Hill who had the highest score in Mr. Hart's recent World Math Challenge. Don't worry, it will grow.

I am very excited to be an Auntie again.  We welcomed our fifth niece to the world this weekend - what better way to celebrate Spring.

Enjoy the week!
