Hello Fallingbrook families,

Congrats to the junior students and staff that sang and played their ukulele yesterday for their classmates. We’ve got some talented musicians who are very comfortable in front of an audience!  Intramural Pickleball wrapped up today, and we extend our sincere thanks to community volunteer Chris Cheverie for his invaluable support in bringing this great opportunity to our school.

The PTC has been working hard getting ready for tomorrow morning’s Egg Hunt. Join us at the front of the school starting at 10 AM for a fun egg hunt activity, as well as free allergy-safe treats, sweets and hot chocolate. Kindly register here: Egg Hunt Registration Parental supervision is required. 

Tuesday is Earth Day and like other years, staff and students will be participating in a yard clean-up. The students will be supplied with disposable gloves as we do some school beautification. Everyone will be instructed to not touch anything other than paper, plastic and leaves. We’re also looking forward to the Sultans of Swing musical presentation on Tuesday as well.

The grade 4-8 students are excited about the BlackJacks professional basketball game on May 14. The club is also asking us to confirm numbers with them. If you haven’t already purchased your ticket through https://ocdsb.schoolcashonline.com please do so by the end of April. If you need us to help with the costs, please call or email Jeremy Nowiski and we’d be glad to support you.

We’d like to wish everyone who is celebrating a Happy Easter, and we hope you all enjoy the long weekend! 

Sincerely,

Jeremy Nowiski and Michelle Minogue
