May muscles in!

A huge thank you to all the volunteers in our school!

Because of you - our students are able to do much more than they would otherwise – to go on trips safely, and be able to talk with an adult because of the smaller groups your presence allows.

Because of you - the children get opportunities to practice reading more and get more attention from an adult in class.

Because of you - our Learning Gardens are amazing, will thrive and provide so much learning and understanding first hand for kids that may not even have a garden!

Because of you – they have the opportunity to see appreciation and caring for the teachers and others in our community.

And because of you, most valuably, they see the power of volunteering our time for others and how we all benefit from that, so hopefully our students will be able to feel and see the benefits of doing it themselves in the future and how much more enjoyable it is to do things together instead of alone.

Volunteering is much bigger than we might think, bringing people together instead of dividing them is crucial for our world, and sowing those seeds means because of you we can have a better one!

So, a big thank you to all of you! We hope you enjoyed the presentation from our Grade ones and threes led by our talented Ms. Draper, the treats and the chance to mingle with our lovely teachers:)

The Learning Gardens were made ready for planting by a muscular group of parents and students who worked very hard on Saturday, May 20^th – it was a lot of work for the eight parents and eleven students! Many hands make light work so we will be actively recruiting next year!

Check out the photos of our Learning Gardens and the beautiful student art work the teachers shared at the Volunteer Tea! Thank you to Mr. Dewsbury and staff for beautifying our small gym for the event:)

Have a wonderful May end and June everyone!
