Terry Fox Run/Walk
Congratulations to all Albion students for we raised just over $4000 for the Terry Fox Foundation. In that we reached our fundraising goals, all students earned an extended lunch, Joey C. won Principal of the day and there will be a staff inflatable costume race on the back field- date and time TBA. A huge thank you to Ms. Holman, her students and all the parent volunteers who helped make this years event another success.
Recess and Lunch
As the weather is nicer a reminder to have students bring a hat, water and sun screen to school. We are also finding that students are starting to bring personal sporting equipment to school. A reminder that the school cannot take responsibility for lost or damaged items. All Moon Balls, Boomerangs and baseball and softball and lacrosse balls need to also remain at home. These balls are just too hard for a very busy playground.

Last week, our Intermediate Public Speaking event on Monday enjoyed by staff, students, parents and guest Judges.

Class Placements
We are beginning to create our classes for next year. Please be assured that staff devote considerable time, care, and attention to this process. This very complex and lengthy responsibility occurs over several weeks and continues into September when class placements are finalized. Throughout the year, there have been many opportunities for parents and teachers to discuss each child. Staff work together to consider the following criteria very carefully: social emotional skills and relationships, as well as learning styles, strengths, and needs. Our goal is to create safe and engaging inclusive classrooms that balance these factors, as equitably as possible. If you feel there is further information to consider about your child, you may submit input to Mrs. Dailey in writing by Friday, May 22. Please refrain from requesting specific teachers or peers by name as these submissions will not be reviewed.
