Dear Parents,
Welcome back! I hope you all had a wonderful and refreshing Thingyan holiday. It has been a joy to see the students settle back into their school routines so quickly this week.
| 🌏 ♻️ Celebrating Earth Day ♻️ |
Today, we celebrated Earth Day as a whole school. This is a vital time for us to pause and consider our individual impact on the planet, while exploring sustainable ways to make our environment a safer place to live.
Our Secondary Green Initiative and Student Council did a fantastic job leading Earth Day-themed activities for our elementary students. The highlight of the day was undoubtedly the "Trashion" Show, where Secondary students showcased wearable art created entirely from recycled materials.
Beyond being a display of incredible creativity, collaboration, and communication, the show prompted a serious reflection on the sheer volume of waste we produce daily.
Following the activities, each elementary student made a personal pledge to make better choices for our planet.
Conversation Starter: Ask your child tonight: "What was your Earth Day pledge today?"
| Important Dates: No School Next Week |
Please note that we have a short week coming up. There will be no school on the following days:
-
Thursday, April 30: Full Moon Day of Kason
-
Friday, May 1: May Day
We look forward to seeing everyone back on Monday, May 4 as we move into the final stretch of the school year. Please note that teaching the curriculum continues right up until June 1. I kindly ask that summer plans begin after the last day of school on June 11.
Have a wonderful weekend ahead!
Regards,
Mr. Geoff Heney
Elementary School Principal
