Kilmer Connections
March 2024
Namwayut --- We Are All One --- Nous Sommes Tous Unis
Greetings Kilmer Community,
Thanks to everyone for sharing their pet photos and making our Pink Shirt Day memorable!
The next two weeks will be action packed with KHL Finals, Basketball Jamboree, Great Kilmer Relay, March Monthly Assembly with performance by Ms. Faria and Ms. Schubert's classes, and Carnaval.
Planning is underway for Spring Events. Please see below for the calendar dates.
After School Programs
Registration for afterschool programs will open shortly. Game Ready will provide a variety of sports programs at the gym and Beyond The Bell will offer Paper Making Projects in the Library.
Lunch Box Theatre
Spring Lunch Box Theatre registration opens soon. Students will be drawn for a spot in the cast of a play that is rehearsed at lunch times and performed on the afternoon of May 22nd.
Field Trips and Extras
With the support of KPAC, grant applications, and teachers winning free trips , many of the class field trips this year have had minimal or no costs to families. In April all students will receive tennis lessons in gym classes. The upcoming tennis lessons will have a cost on school cashonline. The school will pay a portion directly to keep the cost as low as possible.
Here are some examples of the low cost/no cost activities offered this year:
- Free Lacrosse Lessons for all students
- Free Athlete visits - Vancouver Warriors and Coquitlam Express Hockey and hockey tickets
- DayTripper Grants of $2510.00 to support Pumpkin Patch and Grouse Mountain field trips
- Free HR MacMillan Field Trip, Watershed Field Trip, and multiple classes for Bowling field trips
I hope to see many families at some of the March events in the next two weeks. Thank you for your support of all school events and activities.
A bientôt,
Theresa Roberts, Principal
