It is hard to believe that only 10 months ago we embarked on this journey in the Grade 6 group in Room 308. We have all built upon many of our strengths and overcome many obstacles. Thank you for inspiring me and each other to move forward in our learning community and to continue to make a difference by starting with ourselves.
Enjoy your summer time with family and friends, at home or away. May you face new challenges head-on and continue to build upon your voice, because each of you has something of value to share with others. Perseverance and selflessness are two words that come to mind when I think of our class community.
Good luck on your Grade 7 journey! I look forward to whatever the next school year brings :o)

Dress for Success for tomorrow's activities.
SCIENCE: bring in all materials for your kite build. We will be building throughout the morning.
Friday, June 20, 2014
The Grade 6 students will be leading various activity stations during Monday mornings PLAYDAY organized by our one-and-only, Mr. Perretta.
Yet another leadership opportunity for our students to help bring our school community together. PLEASE bring a hat, dress for success, use sunscreen and bring along a refillable bottle of water (put tape on it with your name).
Please bring in your field trip forms on Monday for Tom Thompson Park. No funds are needed for this last (of many) class field trips.
To quote Dr. Seuss:
“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.”
And my personal favourite from Dr. Seuss:
“Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.”
Continue to persevere and move forward in your adventures (little or large) within your learning and throughout your lives. "Be the change you want to see in the world" (Ghandi) as you have already started to make a difference in the lives of those around you and those you may not ever meet; you have inspired me and I look forward to when our paths will cross again, this year and next :o)

PLEASE RETURN: as the year is coming to a close, there are several items that have been borrowed throughout the year that need to be returned. PLEASE look through your home for textbooks, novels, graphic narratives, clipboards and any other school supplies that belong to Room 308 and/or the school library. Bring in these items over the next few days as they need to be shelved or packed away.

Enjoy the FunFair tonight... the sun is shining and the energy is definitely high for coming together as a community to support McMurrich! Thank you to all our parents who are volunteering tonight to make it even more special for our students.
I look forward to one of our biggest events tomorrow: GRADUATION
Please ensure that you arrive at school for a regular morning start OR promptly at 12:30pm. Parents, as you arrive for the ceremony, please bring in your food/item donations to the gym and place along the tables at the back of the gym.
