Hello parents,
Track and field is one of the highlights of the Intermediate year and we are excited to once again travel to Bear Creek Park, Surrey to participate in this event. The track meet is coming up on Thursday, May 5 (next week) and the weather that day is supposed to be fabulous. Please make sure your student has a backpack with a packed lunch, snacks and lots of water. They will need to come wearing their PE uniform. There maybe a possibility of a concession stand, so students could bring money for a sweet treat.
Just a reminder that we will leave at 7am from the school and will return for 3:45pm depending on traffic. The meet will be a fun-filled day of competition and excitement. Your student will have the chance to run against other students their age in various events such as the 100 meter dash, long jump, ball throw, high jump, and the 400m. They will also have an opportunity to cheer on their teammates as they compete in these events.
As all Intermediate students are going, our busses/shuttles are going to be extremely full. If there is possibility that you can drive your own child, I would appreciate it if you could let me know as soon as possible even if you had already signed up for your child to go on the bus. We are also looking for volunteers for the day. Volunteers would be at our table handing out ribbons to students as they finish events. It’s a very easy job. 🙂
Thanks for your help! It should be a fun day!

Hello Parents,
My prayer is that you had a wonderful weekend with family celebrating Jesus and His resurrection. Please join our class in continuing to praying for the people of Ukraine and for peace. Wednesday is Storybook Character Dress Up day. Students can be creative and use what they have to dress up like a book character. Please make sure your student has a picture of the book or the book for this day. If your student chooses not to participate, they must wear their regular uniform.
As our Little Digger and Little Hoopster after school programs continue, we have noticed that many siblings of students involved are also staying at school while waiting for parents to pick them up. We understand that parents often do not want to make multiple trips to the school. However, parents should be aware that after 3:25 there is no supervision available outside on the playground and in any of the other areas of the school. If an accident happens or an incident occurs, staff members may not be available to help. For student safety, we would encourage parents to tell siblings to stay inside the gym along the walls and wait there or in the front foyer until parents arrive. Alternatively, carpooling may be available so siblings do not have to wait at the school. Thank you for your consideration.
Learning for students this week:

Friday – Knights Day and BMV: Matthew 28:6

This year we are excited to once again participate in the annual Track Meet hosted by Regent Academy, an independent school in Surrey. This event is on Thursday, May 5th at Bear Creek Park, located in Surrey. This event is considered a ‘standards meet’, so all students in grades 4-6 get to participate. Each grade participates in five events, and they are ranked first, second, third or participation based on certain standards set for each grade and event. This is a great track meet that allows all our students to compete with several other contestants from schools of the same size and level as our school.
As all students are participating in this track meet, track and field practices will take place during our regularly scheduled Phys Ed times.
For the Track Meet, the bus/shuttle will be leaving at approx. 7:00am and returning at approx. 3:45pm depending on traffic. Space is limited on the bus and shuttle, and we are hoping that some parents may be able to drive their child so as to ease the numbers on the bus/shuttle.
I will be sending home a permission form tomorrow. Please sign the permission slip below to signify that you are aware of the dates and are allowing your child to participate. If you have any questions, you may refer them to Pamela Goosen or Ian Hancock.
Thank you!

As a school, Highroad has linked with Compelling Love Ministries in Guatemala since 2014. We have built classrooms in 4 villages. If a village can provide a classroom then the government will provide a teacher in Guatemala. The classrooms we have built have changed the futures of these villages and their kids. As the leaders of Compelling Love, Rocky and Karren Chupa work closely with a pastor in the village and this also brings an opportunity for spiritual impact.
For so many reasons it seemed clear that we couldn’t launch a mission trip this year. We are praying that opportunity might be possible in 2023. As a school we feel led to focus on something “outside of our community” and we are planning on building a schoolroom in Guatemala. Looking beyond ourselves will help us to know that God is at work, that we are blessed and that we can still be a blessing. This year’s village, Cerrania Los Mayas, has 45 families and 70 students whose present “school” is below.
Please note, too, that larger donations can go through City Life Church and receive a tax receipt. The cost for a classroom to transform a village is about $7000.
