Panther Parents,
These last few weeks of April are full of enjoyable school community events that students and families can be part of after putting in amazing efforts in their school work during the school day.  Please see below for all that is planned.
Have a good week ahead – Mr. Whittaker

Schedule for Grandparent’s Day:   Wednesday, April 15
Our staff will park off-site, the lot will be dedicated to grandparents.  Due to the size of our school community, the lot will fill and secondary parking is on Zion Hill Road.  Please explain this to them and ask them to be patient.   
Please provide your child’s grandparents with their child’s teacher’s name.  This enables us to check them in faster.  

• Grade 2 & Grade 3:  9:15 – 9:45 a.m.
• Kindergarten & Grade 1:  10:00 -10:30 a.m.
• Grade 4 & Grade 5:  10:45 – 11:15 a.m.

 Dodgeball Night

• All attendees are asked to bring a food item to drop at the entrance for End 68 Hours of Hunger.  All guests that bring a food item will receive a raffle ticket to win an iPad, generously donated by Clix Photography.
