In anticipation of Shavuot that is quickly approaching, we have been discussing in class the 10 commandments. Yesterday we read and discussed them using our Tanach.  In the next few weeks, students will be given the opportunity to create their own personal 10 commandments.  
Field trip forms went home a few days ago letting parents know about a gym field trip that will be taking place on Wednesday May 30, where students will go to the JCC for a swimming afternoon.  We are looking for volunteers that are willing to be IN THE POOL.
Another upcoming field trip is our annual Synagogue Hop.  On Tuesday June 12, the grade 2 class will travel to 4 of the Calgary synagogues as part of our T'filah curriculum.  Please stay tuned for the permission forms that should be sent home any day now.  We are looking for parent volunteers to help us out on this trip.
Reminder that Friday May 18th is a half day for students.  The afternoon is a staff coordination afternoon.
