This past week saw our Pre-K and Kinder classes coming to an end. There were happy, joyful, and tearful moments as students said goodbye and ended the 2020-2021 school year. Mrs. Porter and Ms. Garlough shared pictures with their classes through their blogs, but we thought we would feature a few below. We send best wishes to our Kinder and Pre-K families and hope you all have an AMAZING summer! We look forward to seeing many of you back in the fall. To those that are moving on to other places, you will be missed!

It was an exciting week in 3A and 3B this week! Their butterflies started emerging from their chrysalises so they released them on Friday. After practicing the art technique of pointillism last week, 3B was able to paint butterfly masks. It was a great week to be in Grade Three!

We continue to focus on the theme of PERSEVERANCE. This week we all really enjoyed the Truck Full of Ducks story that 3A shared with us. It went along wonderfully with our staff Lucky Duck contest that has become of our daily routine these last couple of weeks.

We are still looking for a President for our Fundraiser group. Can you or someone you know help us out?

This position involves chairing each meeting and overseeing the various projects that the group takes on. This does not mean that you have to be personally involved in every fundraiser. You just need to be aware of what is going on and volunteer when you can. Meetings are held monthly and we sometimes take a break during one or two of the busier months and it ends up being a commitment for approximately 8 meetings per year. We have an amazing and friendly group of people on our committee. We encourage you to contact the school if you are interested or email: rbesfundraising@gmail.com to reach out to the committee directly with any questions or to volunteer. We all truly work together as a collaborative team and there are a few people with lots of experience to help you through the role.
