Well, another year of school is finished and done with and summer is right ahead, ready to be explored. Hopefully, with all your adventures, you'll also enjoy peaceful times of rest and relaxation. Whatever your summer plans look like, may "The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord cause His face to shine on you and give you peace." Have a wonderful summer holiday! 

PS. I've included a few videos of some recent school performances in this WAAG that you probably haven't seen yet. I hope you enjoy them!

PSS. This is the last WAAG of the 2020-21 school year. The next one will show up in your inbox just before school begins in September. Enjoy the break! :D

If you haven't yet picked up student report cards and awards at the school, you may do so on Monday, June 28, from 9:00 am-12:00 pm. Items will be on tables in front of the school, arranged by family and in alphabetical order by last name. Our lovely EAs will be manning the tables to help you find your items. And after you've picked up all report cards and awards, then you can mosey on over to the Lost & Found table to see if anything belongs to you. The odds are high that you'll find something since our Lost & Found box is full. To. The. Brim.  

Our garden is looking fantastic! But in order for it to continue to do so, we need volunteers to water it over the summer. This means just turning on the faucet so it's actually really easy. Any takers? If you could help us out, please contact Mrs Keenan at bkeenan@gaglardiacademy.ca. Thanks!

Hello families,

Please keep the Cook family in your prayers over the summer and if you are able and willing, a donation of a meal or two would especially help them. We've updated their Meal Train to include dates in July and August. Thanks again for your continued generosity!

Our Grade 12 graduation ceremony was held last Friday, on June 18, and a video was posted last week. If you haven't yet seen it, you can do so by clicking this link: https://youtu.be/phFVj1FcD7g

After the ceremony, Mr McKague hosted the annual Kegger Cup which is always loads of fun for the grads and this year was no exception. To watch this and other after-grad-ceremony activities such as teacher/student gifts, check out the video!

Mr Collin and three of his senior high band students, Fiona Yang, Ayla McCallum, and Elyse Gingrich, perform four pieces of music in duets and trios. Enjoy!

Join Mrs Bomske and Ms Shultz's Readers Theater students from Mrs Spragg's Grade 4-5 class as they perform a short story titled "I Am the Most Important." They did a great job!

Here's a video of Mrs Davidsen's grade 4-5 music class playing and singing the song "What a Beautiful Name" on their ukuleles. Well played, students!

Dear parents and caregivers:

As we approach the end of an extraordinary school year and before summer break begins, I wanted to extend my deepest appreciation on behalf of our government. While educators and school leaders have faced unprecedented obstacles in keeping schools open and safe -- we know you also went above and beyond at home to ensure your children felt supported. You played a vital role in our monumental collective efforts to ensure children could maintain routines, stay on top of schoolwork and remain connected to friends, educators and social supports...

The Ministry of Education has asked that we publish this announcement in our final communication to you. So here it is:

Don’t let COVID-19 sideline your fun this summer. COVID-19 vaccines are available for everyone ages 12 and older. Registering online takes two minutes at www.getvaccinated.gov.bc.ca or by calling 1-833-838-2323. Once registered, you will receive an invitation to book an appointment. Youth can register, book and attend your appointment by yourself (or with friends who are booked at the same time) or ask a parent or trusted adult to help you. The process is fast, easy and will keep you and your communities safe.

School offices are closed from June 30 until the last week in August. School reopens the first day after Labour Day in September. Have a very wonderful and restful summer!
