RunWild!
On Monday, April 15, our school will be having a pep rally for the RunWild event, held on May 4th in Spruce Grove. RunWild will help you teach students about healthy living and community giving as they prepare for a fitness race and as they learn about the important work at the Zebra Child And Youth Advocacy Center. Our school will be holding our own version of the event so students can participate, later in May, but families may also wish to register for the community event. More information about this event can be found at https://www.runwild.ca.
Westview Performances
This week, the Westview Drama CTF will be coming to our gym to present some musicals and a One Act play. Students from K-4 will see the first grouping of performances and then our 5-8s will see the second grouping of performances. Please see the attached links for more information about the plays.

*Please note that during the performance of Book Lovers, Juliet’s advice is to "kill yourself." This play and the context of this comment will be explained before it is performed as it is a reworking of the play Romeo & Juliet.
Morning and After School Supervision
A reminder that our morning supervision starts and school doors open at 8:15 am. Please arrange for your child to arrive no earlier than this time. Breakfast runs from 8:15-8:35 each morning. Supervision after school ends at 3:15 - students should not be on the premises after this time unless they are participating in an after-school activity.
Lost and Found
Are you missing anything? Please check out our lost and found. We have set items out on a table near the front office to help display, but we gather more items each day! Any items not claimed are donated at the end of each month.
Hot Lunch
Hot Lunch is offered to students by the Parent Advisory League from October to May. More information can be found on our High Park school website under the Lunch Program. You must register each school year in order to place an order. The code is always HPHL. The deadline to order hot lunches for May is April 25.
