Track and Field day tomorrow!

Thank you to all students and families who participated in and donated to our Jump Rope for Heart day!  I will post another update when we have the total raised for our school.  If you happen to still have an envelope with donations in it, please send it in to the school as soon as possible :) 

Our annual Track and Field day will be happening tomorrow, May 22, at BDHS.  Parents are welcome to come and see their children participate, however we do insist that you sign in at the gate with Mrs. Skelton Wright (that's me!) and receive a visitor's sticker. Students are reminded to bring:

• sunscreen
• hat
• appropriate clothing
• running shoes (students will not be permitted to participate without proper footwear)
• water
• snacks
• PERMISSION FORM (if it has not come in yet)

We're looking forward to a fun day!  We will meet students at the portables shortly before 9:15 to put on wristbands, take attendance, and get ready to head over to the highschool.

Unrelated to our fun day of outdoor activity, we will be having a Math test on Wednesday on coordinate graphing. Students have been working on applying these skills for the past couple of weeks. If you're interested in a document that gives some suggestions about how to help your child at home with Math, please see the following link (I wish I'd known about this earlier in the year!): http://edu.gov.on.ca/eng/literacynumeracy/parentGuideNumEn.pdf

Enjoy the remainder of the long weekend!  It's a beautiful day!
