Dear parents,
The month of June is filled with exciting and educational activities for our students. Here is an outline of what we have in store as we begin our countdown to the last day of school. June 12 2nd annual Vimy Ridge Bike Rodeo for primary classes: The rodeo will be organized by the Ottawa Safety Council. Students must bring (& wear) their own bike helmet in order to participate. They are also asked to bring their bike or scooter to school. Students that take the bus will have to have a parent drop off and pick up their bike/scooter as they are not permitted on the bus. The Safety Council will have a couple of scooters for students to use if they do not have their own bike or scooter, but they will not have any helmets. Helmets are mandatory to participate. The school is still in need of volunteers. June 12 Humane Society Visit: The Ottawa Humane Society has delivered its successful, in-school program to students for many years. This program brings animal-awareness into Ottawa area classrooms through age-appropriate presentations. The grade 1 and 2 students will take part in the Dog Buddies presentation, which is a popular bite prevention partnership program between the City of Ottawa Public Health Department and the OHS. A companion animal (usually a dog) that is trained will attend. Parents that have concerns are welcome to contact the homeroom teacher by email before June 11th. June 17 Volunteer Tea: We invite all school volunteers to join us for tea before school to thank them for their contribution to our school community and student learning. June 19 School Council BBQ: More details to follow from School Council as the date approaches June 19 Stream of Dreams: Educational workshops for students to develop a better understanding of where our local watershed is, where our water comes from, where it's going and what we can do to prevent water pollution. Students will also be invited to take part in painting their very own wooden fish to display as part of a collaborative and permanent mural on our school’s fence facing Findlay Creek Drive. If you wish to have your child participate in painting a fish with his/her classmates and be a part of the mural display, please send in a Toonie ($2.00) if you have not already done so. June 25 Exploring our Community Downtown: Tour of Ottawa City Hall, Walk to Rideau Hall for picnic lunch, RCMP Musical Ride Stables for guided tour. ($5 fee to cover the cost of transportation) We require 3 parent volunteers for this trip. Due to limited space on the bus, parent volunteers may be asked to provide their own transportation and/or carpool. June 25 Report cards sent home. June 26 End of Year Celebration: Students will walk to our local Splash Pad at Diamond Jubilee Park and enjoy fun in the sun and a picnic lunch. (Weather permitting) We require 3 parent volunteers for this trip. June 27 LAST DAY OF SCHOOL Please email me A.S.A.P. if you can join us on one or more of these days. Stephanie :) [email protected]
