Book Launch and Bake Sale

Thank you to everyone who had a chance to visit Room 308 this week. The class was so proud of their biographies and the other work they shared with you. We received many compliments from other students, teachers, and parents regarding the Book Launch and Bake Sale. The students really did a fantastic job of organizing the whole event and answering questions. The grade 1/2 classes and kinders even made visits and were impressed with the biographies. In addition this week Room 308's first ever Rap video made its debut at our school sharing. Our School Rap was a big hit with the community, and will make another showing later this year in our class open house and video show in June. Our class also played a bit part in the School of Rock video, promoting the upcoming S of R 5 on May 14th.

Please make sure that you have read over the information package that was sent home regarding the upcoming MacSkimming trip. These forms need to be returned by Wednesday if your child is going to attend. Parent volunteers are needed. In keeping with the cooperative traditions of the school, families are asked to share in the arrangement of the food for the overnight. Cheryl is organizing donations to complete our shopping list. When dropping your student and their overnight gear off at school on the morning of the trip you are asked to drop your food donation off with the parent volunteers in the main lobby of the school where they will check you off of the list.

This promises to be one of the highlights of the year, and, rain or shine, it will build memories for the students that will last a lifetime. Please contact me if there are any questions. If your child can not make the trip for any reason please let me know. We have made a number of arrangements in the past to accommodate student needs, or scheduling conflicts, and can do so again if need be.

Thank you, Ray
