We are delighted to extend an enthusiastic invitation to our upcoming Art Gala, where we will proudly present a collection of artwork created by our exceptionally talented students in Grades 4, 5, and 6. This event promises to be a wonderful celebration of their artistic achievements throughout the past year, and we cordially invite all families to join us for an unforgettable evening filled with creativity and inspiration.

Date: May 27 from 6:00 PM – 7:30 PM. Location: Chapel

To create a warm and inclusive atmosphere, we kindly request that students be accompanied by their parents or guardians. This will provide an opportunity for families to share in the joy and pride of witnessing their child’s artistic endeavours firsthand.

Should you have any inquiries or require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact the school office. We eagerly anticipate sharing this remarkable evening with you, as we honour and celebrate the artistic achievements of our students.

McCarthy Uniform Fittings on Wednesday: This is a reminder that we will be hosting a uniform fit day on Wednesday, May 15th in the church lobby from 1:00 – 5:00. This is a great opportunity for parents to ensure their children have the correct sizes for the upcoming school year. We will have McCarthy staff on hand to assist with fittings and answer any questions you may have. We look forward to seeing you there!

Spring Showcase:  We are excited about the spring showcase on Thursday, May 16th at 1:30.  This will take place in the gym and we’d love to see you there!

Attire for the spring showcase is as follows:

– jeans, shorts, or flowy dresses in bright, cheerful colours
– Avoid track pants and sweatshirts
– Be mindful of dress length if performing on stage
– Gentlemen can rock a stylish suit if they wish

Shorts & Sandals

As we welcome the arrival of warmer weather, we kindly remind everyone that on Friday Knight’s Day and casual field trip days, it’s important to ensure that casual shorts meet the school’s dress code. According to the uniform policy, all shorts should reach the length of the student’s extended fingertips when standing with arms flat against their sides.  For students in grades 3-6, please note that shorts not meeting this requirement will result in wearing gym strip shorts instead, and K-2 students will need a parent to bring in an appropriate pair of shorts. During this season, sandals in black, brown, grey, white, or a mix of these colours are suitable, but they must have a back strap for student safety during recess. Thank you for your cooperation and support in maintaining a respectful and appropriate dress code. 

Tomorrow is our field trip to the fish hatchery. Students can wear play clothes. Please send a lunch that can be eaten easily outside. It should be a great day. If you have any questions please email me @ avanleeuwen@highroadacademy.com

My apologies for getting this to you late this month. I will be sending a paper copy home with students tomorrow.

May Bible Memory Verse 

Isaiah 40:28-31 

28 Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. 
 

29 He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. 
 

30 Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; 
 

31 but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary; they will walk and not be faint.
