What a wonderful Wetlands Assembly we had today. It was the "Grand Opening" of our wetlands sign. Ask me what my favourite part of the assembly was. Afterwards we all got together and cleaned up the compound. What a great way to ring in the Spring weather with a Spring Cleaning!

We will be visiting the Wetlands tomorrow afternoon! Dress appropriately! It is supposed to be quite warm tomorrow.

Today was a Litter-less Lunch Day! Our participation was about 60% (down from last week!). Let's all try to be trash-free next week.

In celebration of Arbour Day on Thursday, May 4th, Alberta Agriculture and Forestry provided tree seedlings for all Grade 1 students throughout the province. This is a long-standing tradition to teach the value of trees and their contribution to the Alberta way of life.
You are an important part of this event! Please note the following:

  one tree seedling is for each student to be taken home for planting; seedlings are not to be planted on school property
  directions for planting are on the bag which is provided with the tree seedling
  pine seedlings may have a little frost damage, as seen by the purple tips; this will not affect tree growth.

Enjoy having your own very special Grade 1 tree!!

Jump Rope Update:
Hello ROS students, parents and guardians!
Our Heart and Stroke Foundation Jump Rope For Heart Fundraiser is well on its way. Our kick off assembly last week got students excited to participate and we have been skipping everyday since in PE. Students are encouraged to continue collecting pledges until Thursday May 11th when we will have our Jump Rope for Heart Day event. The Jump Event will run from 2-2:30 on the 11th, our entire school will converge in the courtyard to skip, be active and have fun. Students are encouraged to bring their own skipping ropes if they have one to participate in this school wide event. Thank you for your continued support!!

Dear Parents, 

We are holding our jump event on Thursday, May11th from 2-2:30. Students will be playing hard during this time and we would like to have a healthy, heart smart snack for them to enjoy after. We are looking for a volunteer (or 2) to bring in enough mandarines or orange slices for your child's class to share. If you are able to contribute please contact your child's homeroom teacher. Thank you for your support!
