Can you believe the end of the school year is only a few days away? We have enjoyed a wonderful year of learning and created many memories, and now it’s time to celebrate our hard work! The children are very excited with the end of the year coming and the new challenges they will be facing in September. Some children will be moving back to their homeschool or moving to another system class while others will be returning to the Primary Language Class. For the children moving out of the program, I wish you more success and happiness, and, I look forward to helping those students returning to St. John the Apostle Catholic School meet new language goals.

We are all ready to enjoy the class party today! I am really looking forward to enjoying the day with the students!

The students will continue to bring home their school work. Please take some time to go through what they have done. 👍

The students will also be bringing home their plants today. Some of them are pretty impressive, but as nature would have it, some did not grow. If your child's plant did not grow, I will be sending home a little package for them to try again!

A big thank-you to all of you for your support and assistance this school year. As parents, you playan important part in helping children meet success. It has been my sincere pleasure working alongside with you to teach your children this year. I have mentioned this in previous posts, but this is the most amazing job in the world. Your children are an incredible joy and they teach me something new everyday. I feel blessed to be in this unique teaching position and I look forward to seeing what the children can accomplish in the future!

Over the summer vacation, I strongly encourage you to help your child continue learning. Read to your child every day and practise writing by using the word wall words that we have been working on all year. Doing one or two activities each day over the summer vacation will help to keep your child’s skills sharp.

A reminder that the St. John the Apostle School BBQ is tomorrow afternoon. Please feel free to join us for some fun starting at 4:00 pm here at the school!!

I hope you enjoy time with each other this summer. Have a happy and safe summer holiday.

God bless you and your family in this summer season!
