No sweat A Workshop for Parents – Saleema Noon -­‐ Thursday 7pm Not all parents are comfortable talking to their children about sex, but all parents can learn to be comfortable. During this open and informational session, parents will come to terms with sexual health, and understand how it fits into the lives of their children at this stage of life. Attendees will discover how to easily overcome embarrassment when talking about sexual health, learn words and concepts that are easy to use, and leave well equipped to clearly answer the questions children ask. The workshop is light hearted, but delivers straight and current facts on how parents and children can work together to promote good sexual decisions for a lifetime. Bike To School Week – À vélo à l’école -­‐ May 31 to June 3rd We are encouraging all students and their families to take part in our Bike to School Week this week. Our leadership students will be around the bicycle rack to distribute little prizes/incentives to encourage participation – first come, first served, as well as raffle tickets for the draw at the end of the week.

Students who will represent our school received a permission form today to be returned on Tuesday. We understand that some students may feel disappointed that they are not going to the meet, however because of the competitive nature of this event, we have had to select a limited number of participants. Students who are going to the meet may have some practices this week. Practices will be announced on the P.A. system next week.
