It’s hard to believe, but the school year is drawing to a close. I hope you will keep the learning moving along for your child during the summer. Have them join the summer reading program at the public library. They would also enjoy visiting our most popular websites during the summer (Starfall and Illuminations Math Activities). During the next two weeks, I will begin sending your child’s books and schoolwork home to try and avoid a large haul on the last day. Also, if your child’s birthday is in July or August, we will be celebrating their special day on the corresponding date in June. Here are the highlights for the final weeks of the school year.
June 3 – Throwback Day – Dress your child in an outfit from a long time ago.
June 5 – Young Entrepreneur Fair – Send a small amount of money ($2 - $5) with your child so they can purchase some toys made by our grade 7’s.
June 6 – All School Library Books Due
June 7 – Properties of Matter Workshop at school
June 10 – Parent Appreciation Tea 2:00 This event is hosted by the Dogwood staff. It is our way of thanking the many parent volunteers. Come and enjoy some refreshments and social time with other parents.
June 14 – Games Day This is an all-day school-wide event where children have been divided into house teams. They will participate in relays and other novelty events. A hot dog and drink will be provided for children at lunch from the PAC. There will also be other items for sale at the concession. Dress your child in their team colour!
June 19 – Last Day for Home Reading
June 24 – Board Game Day Please send a board game your child knows how to play – no electronics please.

Happy Summer!
