Running Club
Hi everyone.
Salut tout le monde.
The
Fall Classic Running Club (FCRC) is off and running!
We're
running Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 9:15,
starting at the VW bus loop. Friday's Latté
Lap is a great success and terrific way to relax
after the run! Come and join us.
All
runners and walkers are welcome to join! Questions?
Call 489-6296 or email fallclassic@mts.net

Linden
Woods Fall Classic
The
Fall Classic team is busy getting sponsorship
funds for the event. It takes a lot of work to
get enough sponsors to fund our projects; it takes
a lot of commitment and generosity on the part
of our sponsors to support our community-building
projects.
Our
next major project is to add the Spacenet Climber
(pictured above) on to the fabulous EVOS play
structure that we now have. Other park enhancements
that will compliment the play structure, such
as tetherball units, shade trees and seating areas,
continue to be part of the development plan.
If
you or your business would be interested in helping
supporting the community, we would love to hear
from you. Call us at 489-6296 or email us at fallclassic@mts.net
.
Take
care and happy running!

Administration
Message
“This
is my favorite musical – the theme of sharing and
community always leaves everyone with a great feeling,”
exclaims Mrs. Woods with a sparkle in her eye.
The excitement is growing for our Grade 4-6 students
who are involved in our spring musical, Stone Soup.
The production hits the stage on Wednesday, May
13 at 7:00 at Van Walleghem Auditorium (the gym
that is).
Ten,
nine, eight… After 8 months of planning, preparation
and fundraising, our Space Camp students are taking
flight! Bon Voyage to our Grade 8 Space Camp
students! We are confident that their time
in Quebec will provide a lifetime of wonderful memories.
You
will see that this month's calendar is full of various
extra-curricular opportunities for all students.
We would like to take this moment to thank the staff
volunteers who make these activities possible.
Van Walleghem students will surely look back on
their school days and remember their extra curricular
activities with fondness.
It
is with mixed feelings that we announce that Mrs.
Daphne Woods will retire at the end of June this
year. Mrs. Woods will retire with 30 years
of dedicated service to music education. We
wish her a healthy and happy retirement.
Plans
for next school year are well underway in the admin
office of Van Walleghem. Please click here:

May
is Better Hearing and Speech Month
Did
you know that one in ten Canadians has a speech,
language or hearing disorder? The things we take
for granted, the ability to speak and hear, are
a daily struggle for these individuals.
Warning
signs of hearing impairment include difficulty conversing
in areas with noisy backgrounds or asking that words
be repeated.
