Summer Reading

Summer Reading

                "The research is clear that children who don't read during the summer can lose up to three months of reading progress and that loss has a cumulative, long-term effect."

How can parents encourage reading over the summer?

* Regina Public Library, library programs, TD Summer reading program

* Online resources: Tumblebooks or Overdrive (free on the Regina Public Library website) , anyone with a RAZ KIDS account

* Garage sale books

* Have a reading challenge with friends or neighbours

* Pack a book in your backpack, sportsbag or car

* Read different types of text (magazines, newspapers, e-books, novels, recipes, informational books etc.)

Remember to READ! READ! READ!

Gr. 7 Reminder Note for Grade 8 Farewell

Thursday, June 2^nd, 2016

Dear Parents/Guardians of Grade 7 students:

This is a friendly reminder that we need your help to ensure that our Grade Eight Farewell is a success.  As we have done in previous years, the grade seven students and their parents, provide the desserts/dainties and the service for the reception following the farewell ceremony.  This is happening on Tuesday, June 14^th.  Many of you have already responded to our original newsletter.  Megan Hunt, Barb Wagner, Linda Forster, Candice Oremba, Katherine Zimmer, Amy Hu and Rae-lyn Snyder, Amy Hu, Karla Sillinger and Nancy Hasapis have all volunteered to take the lead role for organizing the reception on the morning and the evening of the reception.  Their email addresses are:

Megan Hunt	mmw280@gmail.com
Barb Wagner	dbwaggz@gmail.com
Linda Forster	lforster@sasktel.net
Candice Oremba	coremba@sasktel.net
Katherine Zimmer	zimmk@sasktel.net
Rae-lyn Snyder	rae-lynsnyder@hotmail.com
Amy Hu	Y94hu@hotmail.com
Karla Sillinger	karlodegg@sasktel.net
Nancy Hasapis	iraklis@sasktel.net

  The attached list shows what contributions are being provided from each family.

We do not yet have a commitment to provide dainties/squares from all of our grade seven students.  Remember, next year this event will be for you and at that time you will be taken care of by the grade seven class of next year.  All food items need to be brought to the staff room on the morning of June 14^th and they must be entirely nut-free.  Thank you for your assistance.

Sincerely,

Kelley Reoch, Kyle DuMont, Kevin Yeske, Angela Scott
