May Newsletter

Dear Parents/Guardians,

It’s hard to believe that we only have about a month and half before summer vacation starts.  We still have a few fun activities planned before school lets out and we hope that you can participate in some of them.  Our big activity of the year is Thursday, June 5th!  The Fun Fair Package has been distributed to all families and we hope you can join us for a fun evening with the school community.

Thank you to all families who have participated thus far in all of our activities and thanks to all of the parent volunteers who have helped out, without you they would not have been successful.  This month, we were able to help the Choir and the Dance Team purchase their shirts/costumes so that they could represent SKT with pride.

All the while, raising funds for our school!

Please join us at Boston Pizza Orleans, 2884 Innes Road on 
Monday, May 12th between the hours of 5:00-9:00pm

Enjoy delicious food and great company.

Then simply leave your receipt in the specified box at the front of the restaurant and
