Dear Families,

Thank you to those of you who have volunteered throughout this school year. Volunteers are the HEART of the school and support enriched activities and opportunities for all students. Thank you for attending the Volunteer Tea yesterday, the students proudly displayed their appreciation and gratitude of your time. 

Swimming: Needing Volunteers – see related message from Ms. Woodrow. 

As an enhancement to our Physical Education Program, the students will participate in swimming lessons at the Killarney Aquatics and Recreation Centre. Qualified swimming instructors from the facility will provide lessons to students Kindergarten to Grade 5. The cost of the six lessons is $35.00. The cost of the buses has generously been covered by Richmond School Council – thank you!

Talent Show Update

Recording continued this week for the Talent Show! Thank you to all families that returned the form for talent show participation on time. Students will receive a slip for their agenda with their expected audition date. Please support your students in practicing so that they are ready, and bring everything they need on their audition date. If recording is ahead of schedule, students may be given the option to audition early or to keep their original date. If singing or dancing, please include the name of the song on the form so that a backing track can be sourced before the audition. If playing the piano, please bring the sheet music to school if possible so that a photocopy can be made.
