Liebe Eltern, dear parents and guardians,
On Monday, all our students were paired up with TB Riley Junior High students. In groups, they went around both school properties and cleaned up - to honor Earth Day. Needless to say, the strong winds from the weekend had helped blow lots of stuff around. On Monday afternoon, the school grounds looked fantastic. Ask your child about their ‘big buddies’ from TB Riley and how they felt this worked out! When I spoke with one of our grade 2/3 students, she beamed and said: “They were so tallllllllll! And so so nice!” All students felt like they now are more connected with TB Riley. As admin teams of both schools, we will try to find more ways of connecting, moving forward.
Touring TB Riley JH
Open House for Grade 6 students on June 6 at 12:30pm-2:00pm Grade 6 student (tour and activities). Evening
6:00pm - 7:00pm - Evening Tour and Open House for parents and students.
Spring has sprung and students will probably start to take their bikes to school. Please make sure that they lock them up at the bike rack and that they use locks. Thank you!
Breakfast
Students who eat breakfast at 8:45 am come in through the front door. Students who do not eat breakfast and who are dropped off at 8:45 am, please go to the playground and play outside for the 10 minutes prior to the bell ringing.
The Bowness SLO-pitch league is donating shale for the baseball diamond to prevent the ‘big mud puddle’. Thank you!
Next year, the teachers are excited to be connected to Classroom Champions. Please check out the program! We will learn who our athlete is in the fall, when the program starts at Bowcroft! Why is the program important? Because it grows a child’s belief that they can work through something that is hard.
Warm regards,
Meike Thomsen, Principal
