Hello families and friends,

I hope you are all staying warm and dry this weekend!  A reminder that tomorrow is our last day of school for students, and is also Sports Day.  Please ensure that you're child is dressed appropriately for being outdoors for the majority of the morning.  We will also be sending home the remainder of the students' work tomorrow, so please send in an extra bag for them to carry their things in so that their backpack does not get too heavy or overfilled.

Thanks, and have a great day!

Hello families and friends,

Tomorrow evening is our Celebration of Learning!  Come out to help in celebrating all of the hard work and learning that we have done this year.  It will be running from 6:00 - 7:00 p.m.

We will be continuing to send home work throughout this week and next.  Please remember to send in a spare bag for your child to put things into to ease transferring them from school.

Along with the songs that we will be singing at our assembly on Friday (links to versions of them can be found in the previous post), there is a farewell song that the school will be singing.  The lyrics for this are:

Here today we see your faces and
We’ll remember you

And your days at Cranston School,
Oh we’ll remember you

You must go and choose your path knowing
We’ll remember you

All your friends at Cranston School
Oh We’ll remember you  ( x2)

Oh we’ll remember you

Have a wonderful Wednesday, and hope to see you all tomorrow!

Hello families and friends,

We have been practicing hard on our work for our assembly this Friday.  To help ensure that we are prepared for our parts, please help your child to practice their part of the following poem:

We will also be singing the Garden Song by John Denver, and Aloha My Friend.

Parents are welcome to come and watch.  We are planning to begin the assembly at 11:15.

Throughout the rest of this week, we will be starting to send home some of the work and books that we have been working on throughout the year.  To help ease this process, if you could please send in a small bag (e.g. grocery bag) for your child to put these things into so that their backpack does not become too cluttered.

                          Popcorn Friday
popcorn_thumb[5][1]Parent council will be selling bags of Kernels Popcorn at school on Friday, June 24 in the morning.  There will be four flavors to choose from: Buttersalt, Dill Pickle, Cheese, and Caramel.  They will be selling for $2.00 each to take home on Friday. If you would like your child to purchase a bag please send a toonie to school
 with them on Friday morning.  In addition, any popcorn that is left over, will be sold on the school compound starting at 11:45 am on June 24th.
A reminder that next Monday, June 27th, is Sports Day and our last day of school.

Have a great afternoon!

Hello families and friends,

We have been practicing our songs for our assembly next Friday in music.  We are looking forward to sharing these and our work with all of you!  Next Thursday is also our year end Celebration of Learning.  Come out and share in the learning that we have done this year that evening at 6:00.

As we are winding down towards the end of the year, we will be asking over the next week that all Library and Home Reading books be returned so that they can be inventoried and any missing ones can be located.

A message from the Eco Team:
The garden beds are planted, and already sprouting new plants. Have you taken a look?
Thanks again to The Calgary Foundation for your amazing support for this project, as well as the volunteers and helpers, in out of the school, who have offered to lend a hand with the work. Now that everything is ready to grow, to feed our community, we hope you can lend a hand, over the summer. Ms. Goldberg is creating a WEED AND WATER schedule. If you would like to come and lend a hand for a day, here or there, we would all really appreciate it. It’s a great way to show you care for the school, and the community, and a nice way to learn about gardening.

We probably only need you to offer your time for 2 or 3 days, each time for about an hour, over the summer. You can even bring your little ones, to learn from the growing garden.

Please email Ms. Goldberg if you can lend a hand. She will contact you to discuss dates. Amgoldberg@cbe.ab.ca

Have a great evening!
