Good day Robina Baker,
Well the weather outside has turned the
corner and folks can definitely tell that the sun and fun of summer is fast
approaching – and just in time for Devon days! As we draw closer to end
of May it was a short week but another fantastic week of activity here at the
school with our students staying active in a number of different activities.
This Week in Review
This week our student athletes continued to run their hearts out
and practice their field events in preparation for the upcoming Black Gold
Division Track and Field Meet being held at Riverview Middle School on
Thursday, June 4th. The team track practices are held during the noon
hour recesses on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Beginning next week those students who are also
participating in the two field events, the running long jump and ball throw,
will begin additional event practices too.
Next week track runners will be bringing home information regarding the
track meet, race day prep, permission forms, and the $3.00 entry fee.
Our grade four drama students are working hard and continued to
practice, practice, practice with Mrs. Stanski and Mrs. Fleming in preparation
for their Wednesday, May 27th and Thursday, May 28th debut of the “Serenade to Swine”
presentation. A musical theater production filled with laughs it is sure to entertain.
We once again had a fantastic character assembly and were able to
celebrate the personal attribute of self
control and the ability to think before acting. Mrs. Mullen did a great job getting the
students involved and keeping them thinking about how their actions can
influence others. She also was excited
to announce the return of our Grade Four POP (Problem solvers On Patrol) Team
which will be out on the playground helping students enjoy their recess breaks
to the fullest.
At our assembly we were also able to celebrate another round of
Student of the Week and our Wristband Challenge winners, Jack T. and Kadence S.! Congratulations to all the students who were
chosen for the honour this week!
As well at this assembly our School-Parent group popped in and
made a draw for two admissions for the upcoming Paint Night Fundraising event
being held on June 12th. The winner
for the two free admission passes was Pamela Babb.

A Next Week Activity Heads up
All our students in
kindergarten through grade four will be taking part in bike safety lessons
during their phys. Ed classes all next week. Students are asked to bring their bikes and helmets with them to school
on Monday, May 25th.
Please
ensure that you have checked over your child’s bicycle and ensure that it is in
good condition prior to sending in to the school, i.e. check the air in the
tires; properly adjust the seat height; ensure the chain is oiled and that the
brakes are in working condition.
As well please check to see that your child's helmet is in good condition and fitting properly.
There are extra “school
bikes” and helmets available at the school for those students who need
them. As well students are welcome to
bring their bikes to the school and “park” them in the gym for the entire week –
might save the hassle of hauling them back and forth from home if not regularly
ridden to school.
Popcorn
Fundraiser – Monday (25th)/Tuesday (26th)
Our School-Parent group has organized a $1.00 per
bag of popcorn sale for all the RBES students.
The last day to submit orders to the classroom teachers for popcorn is
Monday, May 25th with the popcorn being delivered to students the
following day, Tuesday, May 26th during the lunch hour break.
Swine
Serenade – Wednesday, May 27th and Thursday, May 28th
Reminder of the upcoming Grade Four drama presentation
on May 27th in the school Meeting Place.
School
Theme Day: Sports Day – Friday, May 29th
Friday, May 29th
is Sports Day and our Student Spirit
Team is encouraging all of our students to come to school wearing their favourite
sports uniform i.e. football, hockey, jerseys, soccer, gymnastics, dance, etc.
That is all for this week, have a great weekend and be sure to enjoy the fabulous weather!
