One More Day for Students

Greetings! I forgot my camera at home today so I will not include any photos today.

I wanted to remind parents and guardians that tomorrow is the last day of school. We will be having our Grade 7 Leaving Ceremony at 1:00 pm. It should be an great day. For your information, students will receive their report cards at the end of the day.

Thanks to Mrs. Marshall for coming in and working with Ms. Knecht/Angelus' class.

Until later.

Totems

I have posted a few pictures of Ms. Kranenburg's totem poles, which were made today. They look fantastic.

If you stop by the school Monday or Tuesday have a look for yourself.

Have a great weekend!

Enjoy the sunshine.

Primary Assembly

From the Cowboy Dance to an Aussie Barbecue song, the Primary Assembly was excellent. I will post a few more pics on the Flickr Photostream.

Until tomorrow.

Farewell Assembly

We had a farewell assembly, for our three retiring teachers, today. The morning assembly went really well and the send off was great!

Thanks to everyone who attended. Miss Owen, Mrs. Hoechstetter and Mrs. Griffiths have given of themselves for so many, for many years. It is time for them to relax, smell the roses, write a book or two, do some gardening and ride into the sunset.

May the next chapter of their lives be filled with laughter and joy.

Division 2 Garden

Mrs. Topping and student gardener, Sabrina, finished the garden outside of the Division 2 class. The plants look great and they left a few areas for students to stand during in-climate weather. Thank you for the great job on making GES a better place.

I was busy working with students on the NWEA today. The assessment is pretty well done. The students have done an excellent job overall with several students scoring above the 90th percentile-- that means that they are in the top 10% of all students in their grade that have written the assessment.

It is nice to see the sun shining again. Unfortunately I can't enjoy the good weather, as I have a Community School Meeting shortly.

Just a reminder, we will be have a farewell assembly for our three retiring teachers (Audrey Owen, Linda Hoechstetter & Jane Griffiths) tomorrow at 9:15 am -- parents are welcome to attend.

Until tomorrow.

Ms. Knecht's Class Biking

Ms. Knecht's class went biking around GES today. They seemed to be having a great time.

What a great day of weather!

I will post more biking photos on the Flickr Photostream.

Until later.

Music to My Ears

Mrs. Kopek's class was doing a great job learning a new song when I stopped by Music today. They sounded great.

It has been busy here at GES, with year-end activities along with completing assessments and report cards. We are almost finished with our NWEA assessments-- I have been very pleased with the results so far.

There is an SCTA Retirement gathering that I am hoping to get to later.

I trust that everyone has a great evening.

Until tomorrow.

A Mid-Summer Night's Dream
