Happy Mother’s Day
To all of the Moms in the RBE Community, we hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day, complete with everything you wanted. And please tell the kids that Mr. Oliver says they should for sure be doing all the dishes tonight (actually, every night, but we they have to start somewhere!).
Spring Concert Thanks
What a great time we had performing last week for the Spring Concert. We have a number of people we’d like to thank for helping to make it such a wonderful experience.
- Thank you to the cast for your extra work learning lines, and for overcoming any nerves as you contemplated performing in front of an audience.
- Thank you to all the performers who learned often-difficult new things to share.
- Thank you to families for attending. We always bring up our game for an audience.
- Special thanks to families who made sure their kids could attend the evening performance even if you didn’t have tickets for it. Things are always better with a full-sized group of performers.
- Thanks to the district team who put up the stage lights for us. What a difference those make to the feel of the show.
- Thanks to the North Langley Community Church who loaned us the staging and sound equipment for the week.
- Thanks to all teaching and support staff who flexed and adapted to fit the concert schedule, and who stayed late on Thursday for the evening show.
- Thank you to Ms. Davies who looked after all the ticketing – that’s no small job!
- Thank you to Ms. Knuttila who put on another great show, investing her time and creativity in our kids and their sharing.
Book Fair
Jump Rope for Heart is coming…
Our Jump Rope for Heart fundraiser is now underway, and we are excitedly practising our jumping skills for the event on Tuesday, May 30. We have set a fundraising goal of $2000 for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Over the next bit, your kids will be seeing the kick-off video which offers them a number of tips for staying healthy. Kids can set up their personalized fundraising pages here, and adults can make donations there too.
Please check the lost and found! We don’t need those winter jackets anymore!
