Last week we said goodbye to Winter with our Carmi Winter Olympics. Speed skating down the halls of Carmi was one of our many events. We didn’t use skates—but we did use wool socks! It was a great way to celebrate the hard work that the students have been doing this term. Report cards will be sent home this Friday. I enjoyed reading all of the report cards. The children have learned so much this term! Please remember that we dismiss early on March 12th (at 12:00 pm). We have wrapped up basketball and our students in grades 4 and 5 made us so proud! They are skilled at the game and even more skilled at good sportsmanship. Thanks so much to Mr. Bailey. Ms. Persson and Ms. Harvie for coaching the boys and girls. They did great! I’m so proud of them. One last note, please check out our new website www.carmielementary.weebly.com We look forward to your feedback. See you soon!!

Page 3 STUDENT TRANSFER REQUESTS The deadline for students requesting transfers for the September 2015/2016 school year is 4:00 pm, April 15, 2015. Transfer requests received after April 15th may not be considered until September 2015. Although a sibling’s attendance at a school will be given priority as per Choice and Flexibility Policy #305, it should not be assumed that the transfer is approved. A transfer request still needs to be completed and must go through the transfer process. If you are unsure or require further information, please check with your child’s school. KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATIONS School District No. 67 (Okanagan Skaha) - KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATION Children born in 2010 are eligible to enter kindergarten in September 2015. Parents, who feel their child is not yet ready for kindergarten, may defer enrollment for one year. Please contact Wendy Hyer (250) 770-7700 at the School Board Office for information on this. Placement in your neighborhood school kindergarten is based on your address and registration date. The earlier you register, the more likely your child will attend a school close to your home. Register at your neighborhood school during regular school hours on or after February 1, 2015. A birth certificate will be required as well as your child’s BC Care Card, parental BC Care Card and proof of address (i.e. driver’s license, utility bill, lease agreement). COMMUNITY PARTNERS - THANK YOU! $2902 DONATED TO CARMI The Penticton Speedway Foundation fundraises year round and gives over $30,000 annually to local organizations, initiatives, and families in need in our community. Neil Jamieson of Underwriters Insurance, and a director of the Penticton Speedway Foundation, is committed to raising money every year for local breakfast programs. Thousands of breakfasts are served each year at our local schools, by volunteers. Kids who eat breakfast have better concentration during school hours than kids who skip the morning meal. Thank you to Mrs. Van Egmond who runs the Breakfast Club every morning at Carmi. We are so excited, our new PAC kitchen is almost finished!
