We had a wonderful day today, packed full of exciting things:
1. We had a presentation from Calgary Public Library. Please see the additional blog post regarding their Ultimate Summer Program.
2. We released our butterflies! It was a beautiful day to do so! Each child got to put some "nectar" on their fingers, have a butterfly land on their hand, and then carry it to a place in the garden to be released. Some butterflies were more eager to fly off than others, but they all ended up taking flight eventually!
3. We had Elder Randy Bottle come to visit the grade 1/2 classrooms this afternoon. He taught us some Blackfoot words, told us the story of Star Boy (Scarface) as well as treated us to a lullaby. Elder Randy is a valued member of our community, and we were very grateful that he could join us today to share his knowledge. He is also a celebrated author of many Blackfoot graphic novels, some of which have been turned into Virtual Reality games!

Mrs. Podgurny is starting to round-up all the library books for end of year inventory. Please return your child's at your earliest convenience.
Thank you everyone! Have a wonderful evening!
Ms. Thomas
