Principal Message
Dear Families, We had a busy and wonderful week at our school as we welcomed our DanceEd residency. A heartfelt thank you to our talented instructors, Megan and Chiara, for sharing their energy and expertise with our students. It was a fantastic experience for all, and we truly enjoyed the grand finale performance on Friday afternoon—what a celebration of learning and creativity! Looking ahead, next week will be a short week, with an extended May long weekend on May 15 and 18. Please note that Kindergarten Grad photos will take place on Tuesday May 12, along with Kindergarten to Grade 6 class group photos. This Sunday, we recognize Mother’s Day. We honour and give thanks for all those who nurture, guide, and care for children in our community in so many different ways. May you feel appreciated and surrounded by care. A Mother’s Day Blessing: May you be blessed with patience in the busy moments, joy in the everyday, and the quiet reassurance that the love you give makes a lasting difference. Have a wonderful weekend, Mrs. Carr-Jeschke & Mrs.McNamee

A Message for Mother's Day
As we approach Mother's Day on Sunday, we would like to take a moment to recognize and celebrate the many people in our community who nurture, guide, and care for children each day. We acknowledge that families are diverse, and the role of caregiving is carried out in many ways. Whether you are a mother, grandmother, aunt, guardian, foster parent, or another important figure, your care, support, and love make a meaningful difference in the lives of our students. Thank you for the many ways you contribute to the well-being and growth of our students. We are grateful for the partnership we share with you. Wishing you a peaceful and meaningful weekend.
School Council Corner
Please see the following communication from your SAC Executive: We can hardly believe we are already heading into the final stretch of the school year! A huge thank you to everyone who has already contributed toward our Staff Appreciation initiatives. We are still looking for Staff Appreciation donations as we prepare to recognize and celebrate the incredible staff who support our children every day. If you would like to contribute, please send your donation to stpaulyeg@hotmail.com and include your child(ren)’s name in the message. We would also like to extend a big thank you to our wonderful DanceEd Residency team for an engaging and creative week at the school. Students had an amazing opportunity to explore movement, expression, and creativity through a variety of dance experiences. It was fantastic to see students building confidence, trying new things, and having fun while learning through the arts. Finally, please mark your calendars for our next — and final — School Advisory Council (SAC) meeting of the year on May 20 at 6:30 p.m. We would love to see you there as we wrap up another great year together!
Staff Parking Lot
A reminder that the staff parking lot is not to be used for student pick ups or drop offs. There are staff vehicles, as well as Division vehicles coming in and out of the lot, making it very unsafe for students. Please choose safety or convenience and drop students off in designated drop off areas: 96 Ave in front of the school or 145 Street to the west of the school. Thank you for your support with this!
