Hi folks,

• The parents of Ross Road Grade 6 French Immersion students have begun to plan their exchange to Québec next year, and are selling lovely flower baskets to fundraise for the program.  Baskets will be ready for pickup May 8th (2:45 to 4:00); in time for Mothers’ Day!  The deadline to order is TODAY!  Order forms are available at the office. If you would like to support a specific student, please order through that person. Thank you for your support!
• Spring Carnival 2015 (Friday June 12th) is coming quickly and everyone is getting excited! WAH-HOO! We currently need donations/items/gift cards/gift packages for our silent auction and raffle baskets. Anything helps, big or small. Since we missed our spring carnival last year, it’s even more important we try to make up for last year’s drop in fundraising. Please consider helping with a donation. It’s as easy as sending an email to Dana Kovanda (danakovanda@gmail.com) for the silent auction and/or Shelley Clark (scsmith00@hotmail.com) for the raffle baskets. Stay tuned for more exciting news on what to expect and how to help. Thanks.
