Kilmer Connections

As we head towards the Spring Vacation, I am grateful to be part of such an incredible community.

Students have participated in several events over February and hopefully learned at each one:

• Matific Olympiad
• BC Lions Energy Presentation
• Kindness Assembly
• Pink Shirt Day and Pancakes with PoCo Fire Department
• Lacrosse Lessons
• Manie Musicale

While there are fewer weeks of school in March, we will continue to challenge ourselves:

• Great Kilmer Relay
• Green Thumb Theatre
• Grade 5 Basketball Jamboree
• Reading Link Challenge
• Carnaval

The very industrious KPAC volunteers continue to build support for school activities and events with fundraisers. Thank you for an very fun Movie Night! Please see below for information on Purdys and Bottle Drive. The next round of fun lunches are ready for ordering on munchalunch.

We are beginning to plan for the upcoming school year and welcome the new kindergarten families over the Springtime weeks. The online school calendar is updated with events for April, May and June.

À bientôt,

Theresa Roberts, Principal
