Dear Parents,

The Insta Spring Dance last night for families of K-4 students was a lot of fun for everyone. A special thank you for the following volunteers who worked with Judy Fedora to create a wonderful and fun Family Dance last night. The volunteers that helped out:  Carolyn Dahl,

Christie Krawchuck , Leslie Stang, Megan Golightly, Martha Kovac, Angie Orman, April Dejong and Greg Freson.

 Important Reminder:

Please call the school or send a note if your child is away. If a child needs to go to an appointment or will not be taking the bus, please send a note. As we all know, it is critical that parents and school staff be aware of where young children (up to and including Grade 6) are at all times.

Never take someone else’s child without the written permission of one of their parents. This information MUST be shared with the school for the safety of everyone involved. Thank you.

 Grade 9 Celebration 2015--Last in-school chance to purchase tickets is Tuesday, April 28 from 12:15 – 1:00 pm in the Elboya School Drama Room.

It’s going to be a super memorable night with a soda/pop bar, plated dinner, slideshow, DJ, prizes, photo booth and lots more. Ticket cost is $50 each.  Please bring completed ticket form attached.For your convenience, tickets are also available on-line (deadline May 1) for $53.99 each - wwwF.grade9celebration2015.eventbrite.com

No children under 8 allowed for content reasons.  “Tickets are now on sale at lunch in the fish bowl." Thank-you.

Grade 5 Math Contest – Ms Sawchuk

 

On Monday April 20, 33 eager grade 5 students wrote the Math League's annual grade 5 math contest.  They were challenged by 30 questions in 30 minutes!  The questions started relatively easy and progressively got more challenging.  All students should be commended for trying this contest.  Congratulations to our top scorers:  Gina G., Muntasir H., Felix D., Aidan D., Adam C.  Gina also receives a math contest book for her overall top score here at Elboya.  Congratulations to all!
