Home & School Annual Meeting
The final Home & School meeting for the 2006-07 school year was held on May 15 in the school library.  Some of the highlights of the meeting included:

• the committee gave support and financial aid to Mrs. Martin to up-grade some very old Physical Education equipment.
• deciding spaghetti will continue to be served one Friday per month for the remainder of the year.  Subway subs will not continue.
• the committee is looking for a couple of new members.  Some areas of our school community are not as well represented as other areas.  For example, a parent representing Slemon Park would be nice to have on board.
  

Track & Field
Mr. McQuaid is working hard with our Track & Field athletes again this year to get ready for the Zone Meet on May 28, at Evangeline School and the Provincials on June 2.

Grades 1-6 End of Year Field Trip
On Thursday, May 31, all students in Grades 1-6 will be travelling to Camp Seggie for a day of fun and activities.  This will be their end of year trip as it was the only time we could get booked into the Camp.  Word from other schools who have attended in the past is that the staff do a wonderful job with the students.
