God Bless our Mothers

May is a very special month named in honour of Mary, mother of Jesus. So appropriately, we celebrate Mother’s Day this month….and Grandmothers, Great Grandmothers.
May is a time for us to recognize the gift of motherhood and the gift of life. There is no greater human love than the love of a mother. Make the entire month, not only May 12th, a time of celebration for our moms. We give thanks for the special influence they have in our lives and the care, love, and patience they provide for us.
As we move into our final months of the school year, we look forward to the excitement which comes with year-end. Can you believe that there are less than nine weeks of school left until summer holidays?
Students will be focused on preparing for year-end tests, giving them the opportunity to demonstrate all that they have learned during the school year. We also start to enjoy the warmth of the season and are already anticipating special classroom fieldtrips and much more. These are all signs of energy and new life. Please keep your calendars as a ready reference for all the activities.
Our Artist in Residence program, Trickster, starts May 6 and finishes with a student performance on Friday, May 10. Please be sure to read the details in this newsletter. Through creativity, collaboration, innovation, decision making, and communication our students from Kindergarten through to Grade 6 will work with a curricular theme to develop a production which will also weave in the theme of leadership. We are very excited to have our students show off their talents in the Arts.
