We would leave the school at 9 and come back by 3. If you are able to commit to this day, please email me!

If you are unable to complete it by Friday, please just send it back so we can do the work in class.

Weekly Reminders:

• Wednesday is the CCS track meet 12-4
• (a note from Mr K. )On Friday Mr. Klaponski gave out notices telling grade two athletes if they would need to continue training with the track team Tuesdays and Thursdays.  If the notice was yellow then they would no longer be training.  He thanked them for working so hard at all the practices. Grade twos who have been participating at track and field practice Tuesdays and Thursdays in the month of April to this week are permitted to attend the CCS track meet on Wednesday. Come one come all to cheer them on.

Aquarium

Monday is our Field trip! We are all very excited to go to the Aquarium. Here are some reminders for the day.

1. We are leaving at 9:00 am sharp. Please make sure your child is on time on this day. I will start bringing the children in at 8:45 to start getting ready. We are leaving the Aquarium at 1:30 to make our way back to CCS. 

2. Students must wear their full uniform. 

3. Please back a disposable lunch for your child in a throw away bag. This way we don’t have to carry our lunches around all day. 

4. Students may bring $5 for spending money. This may be spent at the gift shop, not on food.

Students who do not have a First Communion outfit or who are in Grade 1 are allowed to wear dress clothes on that day (dresses, or nice pants and shirt). Students may decide to bring it with them and change at lunch or can wear it the whole day. Also each child in the school has been asked to bring one flower to offer to Mary on this day. Please do not send a whole bouquet as it quickly adds up!
