• Good morning Birchview, Mr. Pinkerton would like to see all the recyclers and Green Team members at his classroom this morning immediately following announcements. We will be discussing an opportunity for 5 Green Team members to join Mr. Pinkerton on an exciting field trip to the school board on June 5. Green Team and recyclers come to Mr. Pinkerton’s class following announcements. 

• Mr. Pinkerton is also looking for students in grades 4-8 who are interested in helping to create a new school garden near the front of our school. Please join our meeting following announcements today at Mr. Pinkerton’s classroom 203.

• Yesterday was our junior track and field day. Congratulations to all junior students who participated in the events. It was a great day to be outside and nice to see the students trying so hard for all their events. Many staff commented on the character and sportsmanship demonstrated while students were participating in the events and also when cheering for their peers on the sidelines. There are too many impressive results to share over the announcements. The 800m races will be on Wednesday during the last block and the 400m races on Friday. Keep practicing and come to school prepared with proper shoes for those races. Good luck to all intermediate students participating in today’s events.  At recess today, students are asked to stay off the track lines again so they stay visible for the entire day. Staff on outside duty, if you could assist in reminding students, that would be great.  Next week students will be notified if they have qualified to move on to the area meet at SCI.  Well done Blazers;)
