Our grade 2 sharing assembly is on Friday May 6th at 10:30 am. Parents are welcome to come. Some of the students have special parts in this assembly. We have a couple of mc's who have scripts to practice at home. These scripts should go back and forth from school to home. Some students are doing a pioneer dance. Boys in this dance group will wear dress pants and button up shirt. Girls in this group will wear a long dress. Some students will be doing Acadian spoons. Girls and boys in this group can wear what the pioneer group is wearing. Please do not go out and buy anything. Calendars, new book orders and photo information is coming home today.
