Dear REDFISH Families,

We hope you are doing well. Here are a few bits and bytes to help keep us on track as we head into the weekend and look ahead to another action-packed week…

TIPI RAISING

Thank you to Naomi LEGG (REDFISH’s Aboriginal Education Success Teacher) and Jesse HALTON (District Indigenization Coordinator) for all their help and hard work in raising the tipi at REDFISH today. Thanks, also, to Homeroom 5 (Ms. HODGSON’s class) for lending the extra sets of hands. The tipi looks great and will be on display for all to see at the upcoming district track meet next Friday. Look out for it in the SE corner of the lower field at the newly minted ‘Tipi Turn’ leg of the infamous team relay race.

PRO-D DAY (Monday, May 27, 2024)

Please note that there is no school for students on Monday, May 27, 2024 as staff gather together for a day of professional development.

SPRING SHOWCASE MUSIC CONCERT (Wednesday, May 29, 2024)

Ms. Keraiff and her REDFISH music program will be hosting a Spring Showcase in the GYM at REDFISH on Wednesday, May 29, 2024 at 1:00 PM. Each homeroom will be contributing to the concert. Please consider attending if you can make it.

DISTRICT GR4/5 TRACK + FIELD MEET (Friday, May 31, 2024)

Please feel free to come out and cheer on REDFISH students in Grades 4, 5, and 6 as they participate alongside almost 340 students from other SD8 elementary schools. The event is being hosted by REDFISH on Friday, May 31, 2024 between 9:30 AM – 1:30 PM. The RPAC will also be running a fundraising concession stand at the track and field meet to help stave off the ‘hunger games’.

LOST + FOUND PURGE (Friday, May 31, 2024)

Our lost and found tables are overflowing and starting to take on a life of their own. If your children are missing articles of clothing, please swing by the tables by the end next week (i.e. Friday, May 31, 2024) to claim them. After that, we plan to start donating items to the Balfour Kids Clothing Share. A big thank you to Catherine DONNELLY (REDFISH’s Revered EA) for tidying up the tables today.
