Sadly, at the end of this school year, we will have to say goodbye to two of our Kindness teachers.

Please see the note from Mrs. Kinsman:

Mr. Brian Simmons is relocating with his family to Vancouver Island, a return home for both he and Mrs. Simmons and their children. Mr. Simmons has had a significant influence at EHS, spearheading the establishment of our Maker Space 'Studio', guiding the work on playgrounds that led to the Grade 1/2 Conoco Phillips Grant, the Open Minds work the grade 1/2 classes have engaged in this school year and the purchase of our 3D printer - among many other accomplishments. He will be greatly missed, even as we wish him and his family many exciting new adventures on the west coast!

Mrs. Sarah Le will be relocating to another CBE school as a result of the budget constraints described below. Mrs. Le joined us briefly as we opened our school at the Tuscany location, leaving after just a few weeks, when her son was born. Following a year's maternity leave, Mrs. Le returned to EHS in our new location, re-joining the Grade 1/2 multi-age, team-teaching group. Over the past two years we have greatly appreciated her strong efforts to support all learners, her willingness to help out wherever needed in the school and her warmth and sense of humour. She will be greatly missed and we wish her every success in her future school.

Please make the Twin Valley field trip form is returned as soon as possible.  Thank you to the parents who offered to volunteer.  I will get back to those who contacted me today.  We have had a great response from families to volunteer for this trip.  I wish we had room to take everyone!

Mrs. Troskie came to visit today to help the Zoo group out with their project they will be sharing at the Junior Conservation Festival on the 19th.

Please note that this week and next week, the Kindness students will be visiting the coulee 1 or more times.  Please make sure students come to school with appropriate walking footwear.  We are also outside for PE and it is difficult for kids who are wearing flip flops.
