JUNE NEWS

The weather is warming up and our inquiries will move increasingly outside. So please ensure your child wears a hat and sunscreen every day


Senior Kindergarten students will start joining the older grades for afternoon recess (1:30 to 1:45) in preparation for this Grade One routine. [*Teachers/ECE's will be on duty in the main yard with the SK's to assist them with this transition.]  


Junior Kinders will remain inside at this time to enjoy small group activities.

June naturally invites discussions of summer/ l’été, with
a focus on insects, water safety, and summer activities.
We hope to help children develop a sense of awe and
respect for some of God's smallest creatures, an 
awareness about water safety, and an overall appreciation
for the beauty and relaxation of our summer season.
