Thunder News Flash – May 4, 2024

We are inviting all Moms, Grandmas, Aunties and friends of the school to come celebrate Mother’s Day with our school community.  The Mother’s Day Tea will start at 1pm on Thursday, May 9th.  We will have presentations from our primary classes, a dance performance and we also welcome our guest speaker, Fr. Jan!  Please RSVP at office@stjameselementary.ca to confirm your attendance.  We look forward to celebrating you and thanking you for all you do!

On Tuesday, May 14th St. James & St. Ann’s School will be holding our Ready, Set, Learn event, from 6:00 – 7:00pm.  This evening session is for parents whose children are 3 – 5 years of age, who have not yet started school, and of course the 3 – 5 year olds are welcome to join in the fun as well.  If you are planning on attending this fun and interactive event, please click here to email the School Office so that we can plan accordingly.  We hope to see you there!

We are collecting used uniform and Thunderwear clothing for the school uniform cupboard.  Please bring in your donations into the school office. 

The next Work Bee will take place at the school this Saturday, May 4th from 9:00am to 2:00pm. This is a great way to earn five hours towards your Parent Participation commitment.  Hopefully the weather will be good, so please bring gloves for both indoor and outdoor work, as well as any small cordless garden tools that you have.  We are very grateful for all of your hard work around the school.

We wanted to take a moment to share some bittersweet news.  At the end of this school year, Mrs. Winship will be leaving our school community to teach at her parish school and be closer to home.

Mrs. Winship has been a dedicated and hardworking member of our staff, bringing her passion for teaching and her love for our students to the forefront every day. We are incredibly grateful for her service and the positive impact she has had on our school community.

As she begins this new chapter in her journey, let us extend our heartfelt blessings and prayers for her abundant success and happiness. May God’s love and grace accompany her every step of the way.
