I am so excited to announce our FINAL field trip of this school year! We will be travelling to the zoo to observe the animals in their habitats, as well as observe how important our natural environment is for both humans and animals!! This ties subject matter from both the grade 1 and grade 2 “Sharing the Planet” UOI!  The cost of the trip is $22.00/student, which includes travel and entrance into the zoo. I am looking for 3 more parents to accompany us of this excursion! If you would like to come, please let me know on the form I sent home today. The absolute last day to hand in money and the permission form will be Friday, May 9^th, 2014! Any student who would not like to participate is expected to be at school that day, as will join another class J

Please take a look at our summer camp programs offered here at St. Jude’s. It is an amazing program this year with lots of fun activities! 

I know there are a few students who have not yet registered for next year. I know there are only a couple spots left for both grade 2, and grade 3.  If you have not registered and would like to come back next year, PLEASE do so soon.
