Hello Kino Families! (Friday, June 17th)
Hello, and Happy Friday Kino Families,
Some of us got wet (well, drenched at times!), but much fun was had by all this week at Kinosayo. Grades 4 and 5 camp, bike trips, Botanical Gardens (complete with frogs!), and many other trips and outings happened this week and brought so many smiles to our students' faces.
As we move into the last full week of school of the 2021-2022 year, please come in to the school for a quick visit if you think you may have lost and found items - we love to see you!
Take good care and have a restful weekend!
Meg and Brian

Indigenous day June 21, 2022--things to think about
If you, a family member, or someone you know is an elder, a knowledge keeper, or has life experiences or talents, that you would like to share with our school community around Indigenous and/or Metis culture, please contact Brian in the office. We are looking to build community connections and what better way than to start with our Kino community!!
Thank you for your consideration!

SAPL Reading Buddies Program
Do you have students who could benefit from extra reading support? The Library offers that support for free through our Reading Buddies program! We are now accepting applications for our upcoming summer sessions. The summer program is for students who have finished Grades 1-4.
Reading Buddies pairs children who could benefit from a little support and guidance with their reading with a trained teen Reading Buddy volunteer. The goal is to help the young buddy improve their confidence and develop a positive attitude toward reading.
The St Albert Public Library is offering two in-person options this summer:
- Tuesdays, July 5 - August 23, 4:00-5:00 pm
- Wednesdays, July 6 - August 24, 6:30-7:30 pm
