We are planning to do a spring clean up outdoors to refresh our garden at the front and get ready for May flowers!. The weather is beginning to change and it is so nice to see the milder temperatures.Let’s hope the April showers bring May flowers and warmth in the air. However, weather is unpredictable so please make sure your child is dressed for the changing weather.

It has been a busy month at Laurine Avenue with Linamar Trips, Floor Hockey, Earthkeepers and Bike Safety Training. May promises to be just as busy! Our grade 6's will be going to Paradise Lake on May 7, 8, 9. Our Grade 3's and 5's are also participating in swimming programs. I’m sure they will all have a great time and hopefully the weather cooperates.

I am thrilled to announce that the King George Holding school is scheduled to open on time and the construction is going well!

I am also looking forward to seeing students and families at the new King George Holding school.
You are invited to attend a King George school presentation on Friday April 27th from 9:30-10 am in the gymnasium of Laurine Avenue.

This presentation is for all students and parents to see pictures of their new school under construction, learn about the new school day schedule, see the King George website, and ask any questions you may have.

This presentation will be for the Laurine Avenue community. IF you are not able to attend, information shared has been posted on the King George website at www.ugdsb.on.ca/kg/
I will be doing the same presentation for all parents attending King George from the intermediate (gr 7/8) incoming schools at Laurine Avenue on May 3rd from 6:30-7:00pm so if you are unable to attend the morning presentation, you may attend this presentation.

I look forward to sharing in the excitement of the new school during my presentation.
