Whole School Waterslide Field Trip
We are excited to be able to once again gather as a school community in this way and look forward to having our parents with us. Last Friday, May 5, an email was sent to all our families regarding our whole school field trip to the Langley Otter Co-op Waterpark scheduled Wednesday, June 7th. This email contains a registration form for parents wishing to join us in attending this field trip, which will need to be completed by Tuesday, May 23.
Payment for the registration will need to be submitted to the school ($7/adult) and will be due to be received at either school office by Friday, May 26. If payment is not received by this time, the registration is forfeit.
Please refer to the May 5 email and the registration form for full details. Parents may get volunteer hours for driving their own child(ren), provided they take other students as well. Also note, younger siblings are not permitted to join us for this field trip.

HLC Sunflower Competition is Back!
The Sunflower competition will start May long weekend! Who will grow the biggest flower or the tallest plant? The best part of this competition is doing this together with fellow growers and getting outside to watch the changes happen as your plants mature.
Here’s what we need:
- Your name and email so we can see who has entered this year and receive pictures as your seeds grow into beautiful large flowers. Please email Pamela (pkwilli9@hotmail.com) with this information.
Here’s what you need:
- Seeds (see the following paragraph)
- Space to plant a large sunflower or 3!
- Time to water and nurture your seeds.
One of the church members has graciously donated seeds again this year. The seeds are available in the Elementary school office throughout the week if you need.
