Dear REDFISH Families,

And just like that… ‘May Long Weekend’ is upon us! Whether you are jampacking your Clark W. Griswoldesque wood-paneled station wagon for an epic family weekend adventure… or souping up your lawnmower and weedwhacker for a mower marathon closer to home… or maybe eyeing up that cozy chair in the corner with a good book in hand… or breaking out the hiking boots… canoe… or stand-up paddle board… or simply ‘working for the weekend’… we hope you can create space and time for some relaxation and restoration with loved ones over the next three days. 

In the meantime, here is some data to help keep you connected to the REDFISH community as we wrap-up another week…

VICTORIA DAY | MONDAY, MAY 20, 2024 (SCHOOLS CLOSED)

Please note that schools are CLOSED on Monday, May 20, 2024 in recognition of Victoria Day. Enjoy the long weekend! 

TRACK MEET VOLUNTEERS (Friday, May 31, 2024)

Hmmm… According to my track meet volunteer SIGN-UP SHEET, I have at least one parent reading these weekly principal messages. (Ha. Ha.) Please consider signing up if you can help out with the CONCESSION STAND as REDFISH hosts the local elementary schools on Friday, May 31, 2024 for the DISTRICT TRACK MEET.

Please note that REDFISH students in Grade 4/5/6 will be competing in the meet which is set to run between 9:30 AM – 1:30 PM.
