HAPPY SPRING
The cheery daffodils are blooming on the school grounds.
SEMAINE DE LA FRANCOPHONIE
During the week of April 3rd to 6th, MRE is celebrating Semaine de la Francophonie. This is an occasion to acknowledge French Speakers from all over the globe.
On Monday, April 3rd, all students will be given a classic French snack —a butter and sugar crepe. A food truck called Creperie de la Boheme will be set up at the back of the school for the day.
Please let your child’s teacher know of any allergies or food sensitivities. The crepes do not contain nuts but may have come in contact with them. We will arrange for an alternate treat for students with food allergies.
LOST AND FOUND
Only 2 lonely items this week. Do you recognize them? They’ll be waiting for you.
PLYWOOD AND PAINT DONATIONS
We already have enough plywood donations for our school wide project fence decorating project. Thank you to everyone who contributed!
We are still looking for bright outdoor paint and primer. Remnants are fine. Please drop them off at the office area.
Many thanks!
