News for Monday, June 18
Hi All:
Sadly, the weather forecast for Monday is for rain! Thankfully, we have a Plan B which is to go to Watermania in Richmond for a swim from 10:30 - 12:30. Today, I drove out to Watermania to check things out and see what our lunch options might be. There is not a lot to choose from in terms of a quick take out lunch soooooo......we've decided to take the whole group out for lunch at 1:00 p.m. to The Old Spaghetti Factory which is located nearby. We will cover the cost of swimming and lunch with the SAF so you do not need to bring a lunch or money with you. You should bring a snack to have before we head to Watermania.
For lunch, you will have the following options. Please think ahead so we can be ready with our choices:
1) Spaghetti with meat sauce or tomato sauce
2) Coke or Sprite to drink
You will also get a salad to start as well as bread and then ice cream for dessert. If you absolutely detest spaghetti, we can see what we can do in terms of a substitution. However, we can't make more than 1 or 2 because we are getting a special deal. If we have any more than 2 substitutions, we will end up losing our special deal and it will cost much more. So, if you really need to make a substitution, you will need to bring a note from home with an explanation.
Remember to bring your swim gear and towels. Also, girls, please remember to bring appropriate swim wear for a school outing and bring a t-shirt along if you aren't sure.
Here's looking forward to a great day together on Monday!!

Dear Parents,
Thank you so much to those of you who have driven kids for dragon boat paddling, for our trip to Canada Games Pool and who will be driving on Monday for our trip to Power House! At this point we don't have quite the number of drivers we would need to go to Crescent Beach on the 19th. We will check into the feasibility of a school bus while we wait for the last forms to come in.
Just to let you know, I will be gone from Thursday, June7 (I leave right after school on the 6th) until the last three days of school (June 18th on). Mrs. Dyck will be here for most of that time, with Mrs. Bennett filling in two of those days.
Reminders:
