Terry Fox Elementary School

Here comes the busy part! As the end of the year approaches, with it comes the myriad of ‘final projects’.

The Art Extravaganza, our fundraising evening to show off the work students have done all year-long, was well-attended on May 28. Track and Field, the closing Phys. Ed. tournament, took place the day before under sunny skies.

We had many visitors this month, from creatures, like caterpillars in the K wing (on purpose, no imminent infestations. We promise!) and reptiles for Grade 6 Career Day, to creators, like Tristan Demers and Steve Beshwaty who gave workshops for students in celebration of Literacy Week.

Finally, some May traditions continued. Grade 5 visited Quebec City and the surrounding area, getting to step into the history they’ve spent the year studying. In terms of reviving an old tradition, many thanks to our Home and School for all the work that went into planning and running the Scholastic Book Fair!

We’re in the home stretch, with many activities to come in June. Grade 6 is gearing up for Ministry Exams, everyone’s looking forward to the annual barbecue (keep your eyes peeled for a ‘save the date’, and summer vacation is coming closer and closer!
