We are really filling up our last days of school with activities, awards & events for our students to enjoy and an opportunity for them to do a final wrap up in the classroom! We have included many photos of some of the activities that happened this week, but please join us for our final year-end assembly when we look back on memories of the year and say farewell to our Grade 4s! Parents and families are invited - Wednesday, June 27 at 1 pm.
Our Kindergarten kids had their last day of school on Friday! We wish them all a fantastic summer and look forward to seeing them as grade one students in the fall.
Thank You, Volunteers!
We had our volunteer appreciation "Muffin Morning" to let our volunteers know how much we appreciated them. We shared this video:
National Indigenous People Day
We were so fortunate to have a drumming and singing presentation by students from Ben Calf Robe school in Edmonton to help us celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day! We were able to participate in a large round dance. We would like to send out a huge thank you to a couple of our RBES parents -- Jasmine Fouilliard and Michelle Houle for helping to organize this event! For more photos and videos click here.
BGRS Track Awards
On Thursday we handed out our BGRS Track Meet certificates and awards! Our Raptors did an amazing job!

BOKS WRAP UP!
Monday is Fun Day!
We are excited to be holding our annual Fun Day on Monday! The students will be participating in 15 different activities including Lego building, scavenger hunt, Frisbee games, sack races, ladder golf, chalk drawing and so much more!
Swimming This Week!
We will be swimming this week so please have your permission forms completed by Monday morning!
NEXT YEAR SCHOOL SUPPLIES
It does seem too soon to be talking about school supplies for next year - but you could win $1000 if you order your school supplies before the end of June! Details are available on our website. You will also find information on our website about a new program offered to Robina Baker to provide families in need with school supplies for next year.
STAFFING UPDATE:
As with every end of school year our Robina staff undergoes some changes as people move on to other chapters in their life. This year we have three retirees. We would like to send out BEST WISHES and CONGRATULATIONS to Mrs. Chiesa, Miss Betty and Mrs. Ostonal (who actually finished a couple of months ago) as they say farewell to the work world and hello to retirement. The school will not be the same without seeing Mrs. Chiesa in the office or hearing Miss Betty whistle in the hallways while she works. Luckily we get to see Mrs. Ostonal every once in awhile as she has decided to sub on a part time basis. Mrs. K. Forchuk and her family are moving from the Devon community and so we won't be seeing her in the fall and the PK team is going to have a tough time filling her shoes. Mr. Van Huis is transferring to Covenant Christian so that he can be closer to his family. We will miss all of you very much and as always it is hard to say goodbye, however, you will always be in our hearts.
The RBES staff would like to welcome Ms. Ouellette who will be taking over Mrs. Chiesa's role in the office. Some of you may have already spoken with her on the phone as she has been in this past week doing some training. We look forward to getting to know her in the coming months. She has worked for Black Gold in the past, but has spent the last 3 years in Montreal. Welcome to Devon and RBES Ms. Ouellette!!
ENROLLMENT AND CLASS LISTS:
RBES enrollment has been fluctuating up and down over the last few weeks which makes fall planning tricky to say the least. We will be finalizing staffing decisions, class lists and the number of classes at each grade level in the next couple of days. If the student numbers continue to change as they have been, there will be some movement and changes in our class lists and structures in the fall after the first day of classes. We thank you for your patience as we work through this challenging dynamic.
