Week at a Glance June 5-9June 02 Happy Friday! I hope you've had a wonderful week. On Monday, our grade 4/5
class hosted their friends from York Care for an intergenerational BBQ. Many
thanks to Ms. McCabe and Anita Newling for organizing this! We also
participated in whole-school math fact BINGO. On Tuesday, our friends from
Nashwaaksis Memorial joined us for Music Madness! Their K-2 classes came from
9-10am and their 3-5 classes from 10:30-11:30. There were music activities inside
and the students also played together outside on the site of their future new
school! Yesterday, many students in grades 3-5 headed to Nashwaaksis Middle
School for District Track and Field. Our little school received 3 ribbons! E in
grade 5 got 1st in discus and 2rd in the 80m run. K in grade 5 got 3rd in the
ball throw! On top of that, our students were amazing teammates and very
patient with the waiting, heat and unexpected lockdown! Families of students
who were at track and field were notified as soon as we went into lockdown and
then when the lockdown was lifted. Our amazing School Counselor, Mrs. LeBlanc,
debriefed with us about what happened and then met with a small group who still
wanted to talk. Our students followed instructions beautifully and their staff
members as well as first responders worked diligently and quickly to keep us
all safe.

Week at a Glance - May 29-June 2May 26 Good afternoon and Happy Friday! I hope everyone has had a wonderful week. I
was writing "June 2" in the subject of this email and thinking to
myself, "HOW did that happen?" It is so hard to believe we are into
June next week! We had our May Student Voice meeting on Tuesday; please see the
students' ideas below! On Wednesday, we hosted our Welcome to Kindergarten
event at NMS and got to meet our students who will be starting school next
year. It was a wonderful afternoon and we can't wait to welcome our new
students in the fall! Also on Wednesday, we held a Cultural Learning Day at
MAS! Each class chose a country to learn about and then set up stations,
activities, posters and videos to teach the other classes about their country.
We hope your child told you some of the things they learned! Please see a few
photos below. Yesterday, we held our May Star Student assembly and Mrs. LeBlanc
discussed how families are all different and special. Thank you to those of you
who sent in pictures of your family - the kids were delighted to see themselves
and their friends up on the screen! Students in grades 3-5 did a virtual 'field
trip' to Ducks Unlimited due to the weather on Thursday.

attend NMS are using.

Week at a Glance - May 22-26May 23 Good evening, everyone! I hope you all had a fantastic week. As
mentioned last week, I was at the Canadian Association of Principals (CAP)
conference in PEI and just returned to NB this afternoon. The highlight of my
week was hearing Jody Carrington speak who is the author of 2 of my
favourite professional books! I definitely left feeling inspired! The
grade 5 students had a successful tour of Nashwaaksis Middle School on
Wednesday and I hope some families were able to make it to the evening
information session. Students in grades 3-5 had their last swimming session on
Thursday, and Kiwanis and Home and School served a pancake breakfast that
morning. Today, our students in grades 3-5 attended the Track and Field meet at
NMS and I received lots of awesome pictures and saw many huge smiles. My
husband was helping out and said a great time was had by all! I will let
students know next week who will be attending Districts at the middle school on
June 1.
