Dear Parents,

The month of June has arrived but it feels like the month of November weather wise.  This month will be a busy one, like the previous nine.  Please keep a close eye on the school calendar found on our school web-site. 

Track is in full swing and thank you parents, students and our leader, Mr. Jones, for all the time you have put into the program, making it fun and competitive.

Mr. Rapier is working on purchasing the new technology for next year and our new band teacher, Mr. Milosevic, will be showcasing his program this week and inviting students from Grade 5/6 to participate in the band program for next year.

We will be celebrating our Feast Day on Monday, June 14.  There will be no school for the students that day.  Play Day will be on June 18 with dismissal at 12:15.

Again, thank you parents for your support and many hours of volunteer work, you do make a difference here at Sacred Heart.

We are looking for a home stay for a Gr. 5 Korean boy from September 2010 to June 2011.  If you are interested please call Mr. MacCormack at the school (946-2611).

God Bless,

Wendell MacCormack

Principal

New PEC Members:  Gregory Accili, Deirdre Bostock and Wayne Fraser are the new members of the PEC replacing Brian Godlonton, Grant Cameron and Paul Krueger.  We would like to thank Brian, Grant and Paul for all the time and effort that they have put into serving our school community over the last few years.
