June, 2016

Dear Parents/Guardians, June is upon us! It is amazing that another school year is ending and we are preparing for our year-end activities. All of our students will be writing exams this month. Our grade eight students will be writing Division-al exams in Language Arts and Math and school based exams in all other subjects. Our grade sev-en and nine students will be writing school based exams in all of their subjects. We would like to re-mind all of our students that these last few weeks of school are very important. We encourage you to stay focused and work hard at completing your course work and preparing for your exams. Gen-eral Wolfe is currently receiving supports from the NEEDS center. The NEEDS center staff will be running after school programs on Tuesdays and Thursday from 3:30- 5:00. Students are invited to bring their assignments or review for exams with the staff. I would like to extend an invitation to our parents/guardians to attend our Awards Ceremonies on June 28th. The grade 7 and 8 Awards will be at 9:30 in the school gym. The grade 9 Closing Exer-cises are at 1:30 p.m., also in the school gym. I would once again, like to thank everyone for your ongoing support of General Wolfe School. I look forward to seeing you at our Spring Concert on Thursday, June 2 at 6:30 p.m. Our dance program has also organized a Zumbathon on Thursday, June 9

th, all proceeds

will go toward the families who were impacted by the Fort McMurray fire. If you would like to pur-chase a ticket please contact the school. Tickets are $10.00 for adults, $5.00 for students. This is a wonderful opportunity to exercise and support a great cause. The staff and administration at General Wolfe School would like to extend our best wishes to you and your family for a safe and relaxing summer!
