Highlights of the Week: June 20 - 28

 
 

THANK YOU

  • to those who have volunteered to help with Water Day - we could use more volunteers, particularly for set-up and clean-up. Please call the office if you can help out.

  • to all who made this a successful Track and Field season: the coaches (quite a few staff members, led by Miss Gillespie and Mrs. Choboter), the parents who drove to and from meets (and helped out there) and picked up children from practices, and of course, the athletes! We had a number of students place in the Top 8 for Chilliwack in various events - well done, all!

  • to the volunteers who were celebrated at the Tea last Wednesday, and to those at the school who made it all happen, led by Mrs. MacPherson. Thanks especially to all classes for performing, under the direction of Mrs. Choboter, and to the Grade 6 class for serving.

  • to all those who organized and participated in the online BINGO. Congratulations to the winners!

  • Homestay - we are still in need of a family to host a Korean boy in grade 6 for next school year. For more information, please contact Christine from EduPro at eduprocanadachristine@gmail.com. (Please note, there is a monthly stipend that comes along with hosting).

  • This summer, the parish is hosting a Parish Picnic - it wiill be held on Aug 13 from 11-3. You may purchase food there or bring your own. It will be a day of food, fun and community building. Please come! More info will be in the bulletin in the weeks to come, along with announcements.
