- We will have to change Sports Day again, as it turns out that our regional track meet is going to be on May 29th. We are looking at a date in June, and will advise as soon as we are sure there isn't anything lurking in the 'background' before we publicize the date.
- Our school is planning another Inquiry Fair, to dovetail with a trustee visit for our school's Action Plan for Learning. This will be in late May.

I was doing some reading...
- Debunking the Calculator Myth - Calculators only do as much as we tell them to.
- How not to be ignorant about the world... A TED Talk. Ends a bit flat, but some of the early points I found fascinating.

- WEDNESDAY is hot lunch! It's hot dogs! And, as always, there will be extra food and drinks available to purchase from the pac room that day. Thanks to our awesome room parents that come each month to hand out lunches and to our hot lunch coordinators who work hard to get it all ready and organized!
