Newsletters | Principal's Message | School Newsletter Inserts from the Chief Superintendent and Board of Trustees
I would like to thank our School Council for hosting a beautiful Staff Appreciation Luncheon held on Monday, May 31st. The food was wonderful (many recipes were exchanged) and the opportunity to sit down as a staff and have a meal together was truly a highlight. Thank you for your gracious generosity. We loved it. And what about that Carnival . . . .another fantastic event goes down in the record books! The weather was with us and the turnout was fabulous. A special thank you goes out to Mandy Marciano and Tracey Saunders for their leadership. I know they would both say they couldn’t have done it without there energetic committee and a strong line-up of volunteers. Thanks so much to all of you for your ongoing support of Battalion Park School. Finally on the thank you list, I would like to say a special thanks to our Room Parents and to all the volunteers throughout the year. Your diligent effort helps to build a sense of community within our school. We really couldn’t do it without you. To those parents “graduating” from Battalion Park School, we would like to wish you and your child great success and happiness in the future. A final staffing update since our last newsletter, Mrs. Gail Ingelson has decided to retire from teaching. We would like to thank Gail for all her efforts over the past 6 years at our school. Funnily, she hasn’t stopped smiling over the past month as she dreams of hiking and skiing in the mountains. We have many fond memories of Gail’s work and we hope she will drop by to see us from time to time. Each year, as we say farewell to one special person, another one joins us. We would like to welcome Mrs. Lynne Erickson to Battalion Park School. Lynne has taught for the past 10 years at Queensland Downs and Haysboro Elementary Schools and will take over the reins from Gail this fall. Welcome Lynne. Friday, June 25th is the last day of classes for students. Plans to welcome children back on Thursday, September 2nd, 2010 at 9:00 a.m. are well underway (we are already getting excited). If you move unexpectedly during the summer, please let us know by calling the school and leaving a message. We will be checking messages throughout the summer and this information assists us with all of the concerns related to enrolment. In closing I would like to thank our School Council, under the leadership of Mrs. Tracey Saunders, for their dedication and commitment. Thanks to some earnest recruiting a new slate of officers is almost complete for next year. Well done and it has been our pleasure to work with you. To all our families, have a safe and relaxing summer break. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and provide you with some sunny, fun-filled days. Happy Summer Everyone! Jane Jessiman
