NEWS FROM LADY EVELYN

BY CYNTHIA KITSON

elcome to the good-bye for another school year. It's certainly been a busy and productive one with 'thank-yous' owing to many people who have put in hours of time and effort contributing to the school through volunteering.

These hours have been spent providing pizza lunches, organizing the GST auction, going out on field trips and being in the classroom - just to name a few activities! We are fortunate to have a committed and energetic group of individuals.

Events of note:

• Grade 3 and 6 classes made it through the annual testing. Congratulations on this endeavor.
• Lady Evelyn basketball team played in a regional competition. They played well and showed great team effort!
• The annual school swim at Clifford Bowey pool was great fun and well attended! Thanks to the volunteers who organized this event and also for the much needed snacks!  Nothing like some pool fun to whet (wet!) the appetite!
• On a social note, the "Evening at the School" auction took place Friday June 2, 2:30-10:30pm and was a fun-filled evening supervised by Mr. Hopper, Mr. White, Mrs. MacDonald, Mr. Ridgeway and Ms. Lutsch.
• The grade 4/5s are supplementing their classroom learning with field trips to the Museum of Science and Technology, the Canadian War Museum and Parliament. These trips round out knowledge gained and bring theory to life for the participants.

That about wraps up the 1999-2000 school year. Many thanks to those who have contributed to this column. Have a happy and healthy summer!
