Today we were busy and finished the last part of our special book we've been making just in time for our Art Walk tomorrow night. You will be able to take these home with you when you come in.
Art Walk
We will be hosting an Art Walk tomorrow evening, Thursday, June 1st for families to come to their child’s classroom and see the art that they created with Jennifer Stables our Artist in Residence. The event will be from 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm. This will be a drop-in event that you can show up for at any time between 6:00, when the doors open, and prior to 7:00 when the event ends. We are asking that families enter through their child’s entry doors so that we do not have extra long lineups at the front door.
This is not intended to be parent-teacher interviews and there will be no performances. The entire building will be open to families of current students to walk through to their child(ren)’s classes. Staff will be present in the school and classroom, however, every child must be accompanied by a parent or guardian who is responsible for their supervision.
We will be selling popcorn throughout the evening for $1 per bag in the school’s common area and there will be food trucks in front of the school from 5:00 to 8:00 for families interested in purchasing food or drinks.
A reminder that the parking lot is for staff only and we ask families to walk or ride their bikes that night as parking around the school will be limited.
Sports Day
Our annual Sports Day activities will be held on the morning of Friday, June 2nd. It is important that all students wear loose, flexible clothing appropriate for the weather conditions of the particular day. Running shoes are required footwear. Sunscreen lotion and hats are also encouraged and should be applied at home before coming to school. The forecast calls for rain on Thursday and sunshine on Friday so the mosquitoes will likely be out on our school field. Students may wish to use bug spray or wear long sleeves. Only rain, snow or poor air quality will cause us to postpone the event. A messenger was sent home last Friday looking for volunteers with a current volunteer clearance that would be available to help out on this fun activity, based morning, if you are able to help out please contact the office at 403-817-3516 or email at newbrighton@cbe.ab.ca .
Students will arrive at their normal time and report to their classes, as usual, AM kindergarten students are welcome to attend even though it is a PM scheduled day. We will follow our usual start and end times for Fridays. Our Parent Council is graciously providing each student with a frozen freezie treat at the end of the day, if you would prefer that your child not receive a freezie please let your child’s classroom teacher know, or contact the school office.
