It was a great day for the 141st May Day (except for a few sprinkles). Our folk and Maypole dancers performed beautifully and it was wonderful to see them all dressed up, proudly representing Richard McBride.  Our relay team was ready to run but unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate and the relays were cancelled for safety reasons. 

Division 5 won a runner-up prize in the May Day Free  Lunch Contest and will be enjoying delicious Tim Horton donuts! Congratulations!

Medal Bearer Jadie and Royal Knight Niko, looking very smart in their regalia, thoroughly enjoyed their special day. 

Later in the day, our May Queen representatives, along with their families, attended the May Day Banquet at Roma Hall in Queensbourough.  Royal Knight, Niko greeted and welcomed guest at the front door and then gave a moving speech that highlighted his family's connections to New Westminster.  Jadie charmed the audience with her speech, naming her dad as her biggest inspiration.  The evening finished with the traditional Lancers' dance and Jadie whirled and twirled through the complicated dances with a huge smile on her face!

Mommies and Daddies took home some very tired teddy bears...

We are getting ready for next year!  The students are making their own Library cards with their pictures and barcode. 

Beginning in September, the students will scan their own Library cards and check out their books with my supervision. The students are excited to take on this responsibility!

Hockey books are on display in the Library and are very popular! 

McBride has Canuck Fever and students are encouraged to wear their Canucks' gear and colours on games days.

We have inventory on June 23 & 24.  That means that all the books must be back on their shelves and ready to be scanned by June 22.  This is a big job!

The last day for students to check out books is June 9.  All books must be returned by June 17.  Please have a good look for all those overdue books!!  Lost books must be paid for by June 17.  If money is a concern, please contact me.  Money is refunded for lost books that are returned.

It is hard to believe that it is June already and my first year at Richard McBride is quickly coming to a end...

It was a difficult decision for me to leave Herbert Spencer after five years, but my first week here proved that I had made the right choice!  I have had an incredible time getting to know the McBride students and their families.  (I think that I have learned all the students' names...).

Thank you to all of you for making me feel so welcome and a part of the McBride community.  I love my time in the Library and plan to stay for a very long time!
