Grade 7 - Gearing Up for the End of the Year

Hello Grade 7's and their Parents,

Here are some announcements and comments about our field trip and what is coming up for these final weeks of school:  

Field Trip:  What a wonderful trip!  We had a great stop at Greenwood Museum and then Pines Bible Camp put on a wonderful program for us and the weather even cooperated by stopping raining right at supper time on Thursday.  Here are a few pictures of the trip: 

Tuesday Suppers at Robideau’s:  Next week is the last KCC Youth for the school year so we will have supper this week and then the 10th will be our last supper together.  It’s been so encouraging to see the number of students who are committed to attending youth group whether it was at KCC or another church.  The spiritual food served there is much tastier than anything I can cook.  We will do a final BOTTLE DEPOT run next Tuesday, the 10th to clear out the remaining school recycling.  Thanks so much to the Burgher family for taking this job on this year.  You have been a huge help to me. 

Parents:  Your child will be bringing home a Sharebook that he/she was given by a generous woman who donated them to our school in order to help promote kindness.  Please write some words of encouragement to your child and return it before Thursday this week.  We will be bringing in the media to take a picture of all our students (grades 2,7 and 10) with their sharebooks. 

Last Credit Auction of the Year:  Friday, June 13^th during school – Students can cash in all their remaining credits on some wonderful items.  This last one is going to be a big one with Tim Horton and Starbuck gift cards as well as movie tickets.  I am willing to take donations of a few “tasty treats” such as a big chocolate bar or a tub of gummies for this final auction as I know these are always huge hits!

Good bye Elementary Chapel:  Parents are invited to the final chapel on Wednesday, June 11^th at 1:00 as Mr. Cox presents a powerpoint of the class as they have grown through the years, Mr. Kelly gives a few words welcoming them to the Secondary, and the grade 7 students themselves will share memories as they leave the Elementary behind them. The guitar class will also be performing a song. 

Final Exams: Monday, June 16th  - Math Final  9:00 to 11:00 & English Final 1:00 - 3:00
                       Tuesday, June 17th - Socials Final 9:00 to 11:00 & Science Final 1:00 - 3:00

Students should come to school at the regular time - 8:30 so we can pray, and go through exam instructions.  If a student finishes an exam early, he/she may free read, study for the next exam, or do some quiet activity at his/her desk.  Students will have a longer lunch hour but cannot leave the school grounds unless a parent signs them out.  I will be in my classroom to help students study or supervise acceptable activities such as soccer.
All study sheets will be on the blog as well as given to students in hard copy.  To access them on the blog, just scroll down the left side of the blog and click on the title of the study sheet blog you wish to see.  

BOWLATHON - June 18th in the morning  Please, please, please, even if you don't want to come, if you don't like bowling or whatever, please bring in a sheet of at least $20.00 of fundraising for our tuition assistance program.  40% of HCS students are on financial assistance and we need help in covering these costs!!! 

Elementary Year End Celebration:  Tuesday, June 24^th at 7:00 in the KCC Ministry Center
