Dear River Runner Families,

We had a great week with an entertaining and super fun talent show on Wednesday. Thank you to all of our performers for being brave and sharing their talents with us. A huge thank you to Ms. P, Ms. MacDonald, and Ms. V for running the whole show! Today our Grade 4 and 5 track team had a great time representing Saseenos at our Sooke Schools Track Meet at EMCS. Thank you to our coach, Ms. Haddad, and all of our runners for a great day! Thank you to all our parents that were able to cheer us on.

Dear River Runner Families,

What a short, sunny week!  It was the calm before the storm with a fairly low-key schedule, just a fire drill on Thursday which was handled well.  Next week, we have a Role Model joining us on Monday and Tuesday;  the talent show on Wednesday, and the track meet for our Grade 4 and 5 team at EMCS on Friday!  It’s going to be a busy week, but a great opportunity for our River Runners to show us what great friends, supporters and teammates they can be to their peers.  We can’t wait.

Coming Up:

Wednesday, May 27^th   Talent Show 10:30

Friday, May 29^th              Grade 4 and 5 Track and Field Day at EMCS

Wednesday, June 10^th  Rainbow Parade at Poirier/Journey
