Last Week of School at St. Matthew's for 2018-2019
Wow! It is the last week of school for the 2018-19 school year!
We want to thank all of our families for their support in the education of your children. We wish our Grade 7's all the best as they move on to Beaconsfield Junior High in September! They will always be St. Matthew's Tigers!
We had an exciting event last Thursday when St. John's Growlers star Adam Pardy visited our school with Buddy the Puffin to launch Buddy's Summer Reading Program! We hope that you will continue to encourage your child to read over the summer. We will be sending out information about this reading program later this week.
Congratulations to our Grades 6 and 7 students who trained and ran in the Shoppers Drug Mart Run for Women this morning at Quidi Vidi! Thanks to Madame Culleton for leading this group and to all the staff coaches who trained with the students.
Important things to know about this week:
- There will be no Breakfast Club or School Lunch Program this week. Students are expected to bring along recess snacks and a packed lunch.
- There are field trips going on this week. Please ensure your child has signed consent or he/she will not be able to attend.
- We have some NASCAR presentations here on Tuesday for Grades 4-7! Thanks to Ms. Sheppard for arranging these presentations for us.
- Our Grade 7 School Leaving Ceremony will take place on Wed. June 26 at 10:30 pm. We look forward to this special celebration of their time here at St. Matthew's.
- Thursday will be our last day for students. We will be dismissing at 12:30 pm so it is important that there be someone here to pick up your child.
- Last Thursday we sent home a memo and email regarding Summer Garden Help so is you are able to help, please send back the form and Ms. Ryan will add you to the calendar for garden care.
- School will reopen on Friday, Sept. 6th at 8:30 am for Grades 1-7 and 9:30 am for Kindergarten.
We hope that you and your family have a safe and happy summer and we will see you on Sept. 6th!
