Wow!!  May came and went in a flash!  The highlight for May certainly was the Grade 4-6 production of "The Emperor's New Clothes."  Congratulations to all the students, on stage and behind the scenes, who did a fantastic job.  Also, a big thank you to all the staff who gave up many hours of their time to make the production the success it was.  Broadway, here we come!!!

As usual, June is a very busy month, with many activities planned in the school as well as in the community.  It will go by even faster that the month of May did!  Please note that final school report cards will be sent home on Tuesday, June 24.  This will give you time to review the report card with your child and phone the school if there are any questions.  The last day of classes will be on Friday, June 27 for the morning only.  Classes will be dismissed for the day at 12:00.  There is no school on Monday, June 30.  Please note that classes fro Grade 1 to 6 students will resume Wednesday, September 3.  Nursery and Kindergarten will begin on Friday, September5.

We are looking for nursery aged students for the upcoming year.  If you know of a family in your neighbourhood who has a 4 year old child let them know they can register for the nursery program at Faraday by calling the school at 596-8583.

June is when we say farewell to our Grade 6 students who will move on with their frinds to Grade 7.  What a great group of students!  We are going to miss each and every one of them.  They brought maturity and leadership to Faraday, and are well prepared for the challenges that await them in Junior High.  We are so proud of you!  Good luck, and remember to tell the rest of the world you were proud to be a student at Faraday!  

Faraday also has a "graduating" staff member at the end of June, Mrs. Cloutier.  She has been at Faraday for 18 years, and is looking forward to her retirement, and all the possibilities it presents.  Mrs. Cloutier will be missed by the students, staff and community.

Mrs. Rutherford is also leaving Faraday to explore new challenges at Meadows West School in the fall.  Good luck, and maybe somewhere in your future a return visit to Faraday awaits?  You will also be missed by the staff, students and community.  

As usual, please feel free to call your child's teacher if you have any questions about their school program.

Mr. R. Cockrem, Principal
