Our students enjoyed the wet, spring snow and worked together to build huge snowballs. Thank you for making sure that your child was dressed in warm and waterproof clothing!
Outdoor School:
This week, many of our grade 5 and 6 students are going to be learning somewhere else! They are going to Outdoor School at Camp Chief Hector in Kananaskis for 3 nights. Ms. Jones, Ms. Lang and Mrs. Schmitt will be going to camp with some brave parent volunteers. A big thank you to School Council for contributing to the camp fees and to all of the staff that are helping to keep things running smoothly at school while we are away. We plan to have grade 5 and 6 students go to camp every second year.
Planning Survey:
We are beginning to plan for next year. Please help us by completing this short survey, letting us know if your child/ren will be returning to Sunnyside next year. https://forms.office.com/r/8AufQGaMM6
