Grade 5 to 6 Transition Night (Tuesday, April 19th)
Can you believe our Grade 5’s are already preparing for the next step? Well it’s true. And on Tuesday, April 19th, an information session will be held for Grade 5 students and parents in the Earl Kitchener library. From 6:30 – 7:30 p.m., there will be a presentation by Steve Chapelle on social media. (This is for parents ONLY; child care is available, registration is required). From 7:30 – 8:30 p.m., there will be a question and answer period about middle school for both parents AND students. Hear from an expert on how to help your child navigate social media. Talk to teachers from Ryerson School. Listen to what current Grade 6 students have to say. Lots to learn! See you there! (Please see attached flyers for more information.) Please be aware that this information session is for Grade 5 parents and students ONLY!
Book Swap Coming This May!
The annual Book Swap is just around the corner. To help prepare, there is a blue Rubbermaid bin in the photocopy room next to the library ready to collect your book donations. Please bring in your used books suitable for children from JK to Grade 5. On the day of the Swap, children will have the opportunity to buy books for 25 cents with all proceeds going to the school library. Parents will have the opportunity to visit the Book Swap after school that day. Please contact [email protected] with any questions.
Thank you!
Kirkendall Neighbourhood Food Drive
The Kirkendall Neighbourhood Food Drive is coming up on Saturday, May 7th and they are looking for our help. To support the food drive, Earl Kitchener will be holding a mini food drive within the next few weeks. As a result, a couple of Mission Services food barrels will be placed at the school where food donations can be dropped off. At the end of our mini food drive, Mission Services will come and pick up the barrels, weigh them, and let us know how many pounds of food were collected by Earl Kitchener. Your food donation would be greatly appreciated!
Have a great weekend!
