Our week for April 17-21

 Hello Grade One Families:

Rick Hansen's Got Talent

Does your child have a special talent? Maybe they’re really good at dancing, singing, playing an instrument, acting, juggling, or gymnastics. Or maybe it's something else? We want to see it!!

We're excited to announce that we're reviving the Talent Show!!! On May 25th during the school day, we're hosting Rick Hansen’s Got Talent!

Students are invited to audition for our Talent Show during the second week of May. Please help your child start getting their talent performance ready!! This can be, but not limited to, dancing, singing, acting, playing an instrument, etc. All performances must be live (no videos).

We'll have 4 divisions: kindergarten, primary, junior and intermediate. The criteria for talent is: talented, rehearsed/prepared, creativity/originality and overall performance. Each division will have between 3-5 performances.

There will be TWO shows: one during the school day for all to watch on May 25th and the second show will be at our 10-year anniversary Celebration on June 8th from 4-7pm.

Let’s show our talent at our Rick Hansen’s Got Talent Show!!!​  

There will be a sign up sheet that will be available on Monday April 17.  Sign up will be at 1pm in the Gym.

We will be celebrating Earth Day all week long.  We will learn the 3R's (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle).  We will learn how to respect the environment, objects, animals and people too.  Earth Day is on Saturday April 22, 2023.  🌎  Rick Hansen will be collecting used batteries until April 28.  Recycling boxes are right outside the library.
