It’s hard to believe we are in our last three months of this school year! April is ‘I Love Math Month’ and we have been estimating, finding 50 ways to do things, us-ing math in art and looking at our math strands focusing on number, measurement, probability, puzzle and prob-lem solving. Remember to wear a shirt with a number on it on April 27. We are also looking forward to the cho-ral festival that will be taking place on May 9th and 10th.

These last three months are going to fly by!

Dyakuju to all of the parents and grandparents who helped our EUBP students get ready for and celebrate

Easter! Many helping hands were needed to make paskas (Easter bread), Pysanky (decorated Easter eggs) and set-up/clean-up the hall for the Easter blessing. We are so blessed to have so many beautiful volunteers!

The end of April will continue to be busy for our EUBP students. Our Ukrainian Choir will be singing during the LSSD’s 50th Anniversary Celebrations on April 22nd and our grade 4’s will showcase their Ukrainian dance skills. Grade 6 students will attend Ukrainian Language camp from April 25th-27th at the University of Manitoba. This EUBP sponsored language camp allows students to mingle with other EUBP grade 6 students while they learn about Ukrainian culture and heritage; explore different science disciplines and participate in activi-ties such as wall climbing and swimming.

Mrs. Neil’s Two Sense

The Student Council at Happy Thought School will be starting a Random Acts of Kindness (RAK) club, on April 24th during lunch hour. The club will meet on Day 1’s until mid-June. When we meet, the stu-dents will brainstorm ideas of RAK’s they can do for others in the school; students, teachers, EA’s, support staff, or even members of the community.

I am excited to see all the wonderful ideas they will come up and to see them doing good deeds for others. I am also looking to see the continued rip-ple effect that some Happy Thought students

have already started…how far will it go? If you have seen the effects of their RAK’s I would love to hear from you! If you get the chance to share a Random Act of Kindness that your child has start-ed and how far it has spread, please send me an email at: [email protected], so I can track HTS’s ripple and share these stories in our community.

Bonnie Neil,

Guidance Counsellor

Marathon ClubMarathon ClubMarathon ClubMarathon Club It’s training time again! We are, once again, excited to start Marathon Club. The idea behind the program is that students run a mile each training session for 26 sessions equaling the distance of the actual Manitoba Marathon. All Grades 2-4 students were invited to join Marathon Club. Marathon Club runs during the first break of every school day. Students are running a planned route near the school’s fitness trail.

Students who complete Marathon Club and have shown a commitment to their training are encouraged to attend the marathon and participate in the Super Run (2.6 miles) on Father’s Day, Sunday, June 18, 2017. The Manitoba Mara-thon is a wonderful experience for the kids and a great Father’s Day family outing.

Cheer Club Congratulations to the grade 2 Cheer Club who presented their cheers at our assembly to kick off spirit week. We met a few times a week and the students prepared their own cheer routines. The students who participated in cheer club were:

Mady S., Daniella P., McKenna H., Leila R., Paisley C., Grace F., Emily B., Jenna G., Mindy S., Zoe L., Emma D., Dannika S., Ainsley S., Callie G., Ella S., Sophie L., Layla L., Paige M., Melissa H., .
