Plans are underway to have
an Activity Day for our
grade 3-6 students on June
21st
. At different times dur-
ing the day individual
classes/grades will be taking
part in 30-60 minute ses-
sions that promote healthy
living. Some classes will
take part in sessions with
“Momentum” while other
classes will be doing sessions
in events like soccer etc. Our
grade 6 students will be
walking to the Carleton
Place High School to partic-
ipate in activities there. We
have purchased bananas
for each of our students and
all students will eat this nu-
tritious snack at the same
time.
We are planning a “Moving
on Up” event for our depart-
ing grade 6 students on
June 26th
. A lunch will be
provided for the students at
their usual lunch time of
12:05 p.m. Parents are invit-
ed to a ceremony in our
gymnasium at 1:00 p.m. at
which time the students will
receive a certificate to mark
the occasion. A dance will
be held from 1:45 p.m. to
3:15 p.m. in their honour.
The rest of the school is
planning to give them a
special send-off at the end
of the day.
Our students participated
in the area’s Track and
Field Meet a couple of weeks
back. While the weather was
miserable, our students
made the best of it and rep-
resented Arklan well in our
brand new school jerseys! A
special thanks goes out to
Mrs. Storie and Miss Murray
who helped coach the team.
I would like to thank all of
the volunteers who made
our Family Fun Night such
a success. There were hun-
dreds of smiling faces and
everyone seemed to have a
great time!
As you have probably heard
I will be retiring at the end
of the month. It has indeed
been a pleasure to work with
such a great group of stu-
dents, parents and staff
here at Arklan. Mrs. Shelley
Riddell is looking forward
to coming to our school as
your Principal next year.
Mrs. Stacie Dowdall will be
back as vice-principal to
ensure a smooth transition.
Have a great summer and I
wish all of you the best in
the future!
