Thursday, February 24th

We had many exciting events happening today!

It was TWIN DAY and everyone was seeing double around the school.  Many student chose to come dressed like someone else and it was very exciting to find all the different twins around the school.  We even got a visit from Mr. Bimmons (who we discovered is Mr. Simmons' evil twin!)

First was our Friendliness assembly and we were able to view amazing examples of learning from many our the classrooms around the school.  We were treated to poems, songs and even some African throat singing!

Many of the students participated in Fun Lunch today, and all the students got to have a picnic in the gym!


After recess we also had the opportunity to watch space shuttle Discovery's final launch into space.  They are off to the International Space Station and when they come back Discovery will be taken out of service.  CBC was at our school to capture this historic moment and you can look for our school on CBC news tonight between 5:00 and 6:30. (Did you know that, during take off, the Discovery uses enough fuel to fill a swimming pool EVERY 25 SECONDS??)

SWIMMING: Look for swimming info to be coming home soon.  We will need 2 volunteers per day for each class!


Volunteer Calendar:


Please note that we are booked for swimming during the month of March (March 16-18 & 21st - 23rd) and will be looking for volunteers (TWO PER DAY) to help our students get changed in a quick and efficient manner - we often have a particular need for Dads to help out in the boys change room!  Grade 1 times will be in the morning, so if there are days you know you can help, please e-mail me!  rckroeker@cbe.ab.ca
