It is difficult to believe that there are only two weeks left before summer holidays.  This means less than two weeks to pack up all the books in the library to get ready for the Library renovations.  Before boxing up the books, I am weeding through as many as I can which gives me a chance to discard obsolete and damaged copies, to make room for new books and to replace worn favourites.

PLEASE RETURN ALL LIBRARY BOOKS!!! If you are unable to find overdue books, please send the money for lost items to the Library along with your child’s overdue notice.  Students' overdues are carried over to next September. If you have any questions, email me at ldelair@sd40.bc.ca The first class to return (or pay for) all their missing books will win delicious Tim Hortons donuts and a prize for their teacher.  The winning class will be announced at the year end assembly.

Do you know Canada's longest river?  Do you know Canada's largest and smallest provinces?  Do you know who the first Europeans were to reach Canada?  McBride students are studying Canada and can answer these questions and more! The grade 1 and 2 students have focused on Canadian symbols while the senior students have had a crash course in Canada's history and geography. Here is a video about the War of 1812 that is entertaining and educational... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ety2FEHQgwM

Many thanks to all of the students, parents and staff who supported the Book Fair and made it a great success.  Special thanks to our parent volunteers who took time out of their busy lives to help with the Fair.

We had excellent sales (thank you to all of you who waited patiently to purchase Book Fair items) and will be able to buy additional books and supplies for our newly refurbished Library.

Our dedicated Library monitors have provided an invaluable service this year.  These wonderful students gave up their lunch time to help keep the Library organized and tidy.  I really appreciate their hard work and dillegence and will miss them when they move on to Glenbrook.

Thank you so much for your support through out the past year.  We are so lucky at Richard McBride to have such a wonderful community of students and parents. Have a safe and relaxing summer and we’ll see you next September.
