Track season has begun

Dear parents, 

Track and Field has begun at Queensbury for another year. Even though this is only available to intermediate students (Grades 4-7), most primary teachers assist with coaching the various events. Our days start at 7:45 in the Long Jump pit on Tuesdays and Thursday mornings. We don't finish until 8:40. It would be great if the children could play outside on these mornings until they hear the first bell. If they muddle about in the hallway outside our locked classroom door, chances are they'll get loud and impatient. They can drop their bags by the door, then go out to play. Thanks for discussing this with your child. 

Miss Gardiner is teaching 100% now, and doing a fantastic job. She will be with us until June 8th. I love watching her work with the children. 

Please have your child bring in a family favourite receipe. Miss Gardiner is working on a project with the class and needs this from every student.

Next week our division is in charge of cleaning up the school grounds and donating non-perishable food items for the Harvest Project. Please plan ahead and choose some items when grocery shopping this weekend so your child can place an item or two in the basket in the front foyer. 

Best wishes,

Mrs. Gerri Karr and Miss Gardiner
