This week was support staff appreciation week. Many students wrote cards and notes of gratitude for our incredible support staff team. On Thursday, grade 6 leaders hosted tea service for the team as an act of service and gratitude for their support.

Montessori Tenet  

Our tenet for the month of April has been “prepared environment.” For Earth day this week, many classes talked about the ways we care for our place, our environment. As the spring weather warms up, we remind families that the garden is a beautiful space to explore. Please remember to stay on the pathways. We were sad to see our painted rocks that mark the plants have been moved. Our gardening club will be working to restore the rocks and replace them to their place. We encourage all our students to respect the garden. 

Our gymnastics unit has wrapped up. A big thanks to Prince of Wales school for lending their equipment to us. 

We are extremely grateful for all of the volunteer support we have at our school. We are happy to share our gratitude at our annual Volunteer Tea on Friday, May 10th. Please watch for an email from classroom teachers with more information.
