I hope that you are all enjoying the Devon Days weekend! It was nice to see so many families along the parade route. All of the students who participated in the parade were excited to see so many people they knew! Thank you to Mrs. Forchuck and Mrs. Tewitz for organizing the float! Also a huge shout out and thank you to Mr. Forchuk for driving the float.
DOES LEARNING GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS?
Our ECS students have an opportunity to do Nature School in the river valley over the next few days. Ms. Garlough took both of her classes on Friday to kick things off. Both her students and Mrs. Waters classes will have more time to learn in the river valley this coming week. The students all had a great time and were soooo engaged and maybe a little muddy! :)
DISTRICT TRACK AND FIELD MEET
Congratulations to our Track & Field Team! We took 135 students to the BGRS Track Meet on Friday and they all did fantastic representing our school and enjoyed the fun day.

DRAMA PERFORMANCE!!
GRADE THREE BAKE SALE FOR WATER
When the Grade Threes were learning about Tunisia they learned that many children in Tunisia have to walk many miles to get clean water every day. It started a discussion about what they could do to help and ended with an idea to have a Bake Sale. All monies raised will go to water.org - a non profit organization started 25 years ago by Gary White and Matt Damon with a mission to bring water and sanitation to the world. Students will be able to purchase the baking (provided by the Grade 3 families) during the morning and lunch recesses on Tuesday and Wednesday - all items will be $1.
Volunteer Appreciation June 19
If you have ever volunteered at the school - in the classroom or on a field trip this year we invite you to pop into the school on your way to work or as you drop your child off at school. We will have coffee and muffins and would like to just say thank you!
FREE SWIM TIME!
On the last week of school, most classes will be taking part in Free Swim. It is a fun time for students to just enjoy the pool - there are no lessons just free time swimming - and it is free! Please complete your permission form before June 22.
The library is now closed for the year! Please look around your home and return any library books you find. This will help Ms. Caudron immensely with library inventory! Thank you!!
