We love having volunteers – you make a difference to our school! What an amazing drumming performance yesterday! Thank you, student performers, for working as a team bringing together unified music. And thank you, Ms. Macleod, for leading such a great show that brought us all together as a community! Grade 6 Farewell – June 19 at 12:00 pm - TOMMOROW

Important Staffing Update – Mr. Anderson
Mr. Anderson has accepted a leadership position at the new Evanston Heights middle school. This is such a great opportunity for such a great educator. You will be missed Mr. Anderson; you have been such an important part of the students' lives here at Alex Munro. Kindergarten Celebration Assembly – June 25
Kindergarten parents, come and celebrate your child’s first year of school as they move into grade 1, followed by a family Teddy Bear Picnic in our beautiful naturalization space next Thursday, June 25. The assembly will begin at 10:45 am. Sports Day – June 24 – Parent Volunteers Needed!
We are currently planning this year’s Sports Day for ALL students at Alex Munro, taking place on June 24 from 9:30 AM to 1:00 PM. To help make the day successful, we are looking for parent volunteers to assist with running the various activity stations. Please sign up to volunteer – we will guarantee a great day full of joy and fun. We love having parents involved in these types of events. Depending on the number of volunteers, your role would involve helping set up, supervise and leading one station throughout the event. As groups rotate to your station, you will help run the activity and complete a simple score sheet, ranking the teams from 1st to 4th place. Each station will also have a student volunteer from SJAM supporting in a leadership role. We are hoping to have a minimum of 15 parent volunteers, while classroom teachers circulate with their classes to support supervision and behaviour management. If you are interested in volunteering, please complete the Google Form as soon as possible so that I can begin organizing volunteers for each station: https://forms.gle/PdwGJ4i4EC5eEGgq5 If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at rasaadi@cbe.ab.ca. We truly appreciate your support in helping make Sports Day a fun and memorable experience for our students! Popcorn Day – Tuesday next week (not Wednesday)
Due to sports day next Wednesday, we will be having our last popcorn day on Tuesday instead. As always, it is $2 per bag. AMPA Hosted Community Block Party
AMPA will be hosting a community block party on June 26 (The last day of school!) from 1:30pm to 6pm. Come out to our west compound area with your family to enjoy face painting, balloon animals, fun games, and great company with your neighbours! There will also be food trucks in the parking lot so families can have dinner or a snack! Taking Care of our Garden and Adopt a Plant
Thank you to everyone who helped us till and plant the grassy northwest hill last weekend! It was a beautiful sunny day, and a lot of fun was had. Please help us keep the growing going! The Adopt-A-Plant program will be running all summer - students can sign up to check in on their favorite flowers over summer and use the water barrel in the area to keep our green friends happy. Plant care kits with instructions will be available from Ms. Best for anyone who would like to adopt-a-plant in our garden space over the summer. Parent volunteers are also needed to help our garden thrive. Please consider signing up for a week this summer - enjoy the fresh air with your family and help us weed and water!
