​Hi there Grade 5 families:

Here are a few reminders for this week leading up to March Break:

1.    It’s PANDAMonium Week! PANDAmonium Week Activites.docx  All week we will be celebrating something wild and fun!  .Tuesday is Crazy and Bright Day: Get out your brightest colours, craziest patterns or whatever you want to stand out!

2.    Our class will be swimming at the Fredericton Indoor Pool from 9:00 am - 9:50 am on the following dates: Mar. 11th, 18th, 25th, Apr. 1st, 8th

Please note our first swimming date is the Monday when we return from March break. I will try to send out a reminder over the break as I know it will be difficult to remember. We still need 2-3 parent volunteers, including at least one male, to accompany us to the pool. We will be leaving the school at 8:30 am following the announcements and walking to the FIP. If you are available to help supervise on any of the days mentioned above, please let me know.

Thank you!

3.    The Book Fair is this week!  Dates and are times are posted on the school website and on Fresh Grade and here is your reminder here as well:
