In May we are going to gymnastics up at TCC on the 13th and the 27th. We are also going up to McQueen Lake for the day on the 19th. In June we are going bowling on the 11th and to the Canada Games Pool on the 12th. Then the trip to the Vernon Waterslides happens on the 17th. Keep your eyes open for the bundle of permission slips that will be coming your way.
This Saturday our PAC is putting on a major fundraiser and they need everyone's support. It is called 'Test drive a Ford'. There is no obligation whatsoever other then to test drive one of the vehicles that Ford will have on site. For every test drive they have.....Ford will donate $20 to Parkcrest. It is just that easy. In addition the PAC is also having an outdoor craft fair. So while you are waiting for your turn to test drive, you get to browse the many items that will be available to buy. Please come on out and support Parkcrest!
In LA we have started our new novel. It is the first in a series called 'Island'. We are starting with 'Shipwreck'. For HACE we have been working on safety and they students are currently doing skits for Road Safety. In Math we have begun geometry by starting to measure angles. For PE we are doing a week of cooperative games outdoors and then we will begin Track and Field. Please make sure that your child has appropriate footwear (not skater shoes). We have a clinic with Kamloops Track and Field coaches on the 24th and then rotations will start the following week.
