Friday Newsletter – June 19
 
Dear Families,
Today, Mr. Tony, our Student Engagement Facilitator, hosted the first annual Sprucewood Derby. Students in Grades 2, 3, 4, and 5 have been working hard this year to create race cars. Today’s event not only celebrated the work that both Mr. Tony and the students have done this year but also gave students a chance to race their cars against each other. Students won prizes for the fastest cars, the safest cars, and best car design. A big thank to Mr. Tony and his father-in-law Henry for building the racetrack. It’s been a fantastic learning opportunity for our students and a very exciting event!
We also had a wonderful day at Fishboat Bay. Our students enjoyed a glorious day of sun, building sandcastles, digging holes, and exploring. A big thank you to our PAC for making this day possible by covering the cost of our buses and providing the students with a treat!
