The school year is winding down and this will be our last newsletter.
Our first year at TMSS has been an exciting challenge. It is hard to imagine that some ten months ago there were still construction workers on site, over one hundred computers were waiting for electricity, and close to fifty staff members were new to the facility. TMSS has come a long way. We look forward to the summer to rejuvenate so that we can make the 1998-99 school year even better.

Grade Six

Congratulations to Gordon Deforest in 601 who raised $125 for the Heart and Stroke Foundation, and to Sarah Burningham in 602 who raised $120 and collected pledges from sixty different sponsors! Together 601 and 602 raised $2,150.00!! Congratulations and thanks for savin' hearts, grade six.
Grade six will start their swimming lessons June 15. Students are encouraged to keep up with their assignments in order to take advantage ofthe privilege.

Grade Seven

Classes 701, 702, and 703 have been busy selling chocolate bars to help raise money for their field trips to Torch Trail on June 23 (701), June 24 (702) and June 25 (703). The students will be participating in a number of activities including, archer, canoeing, horse back riding and swimming. A full itinerary will be sent home with each student in the first week of June. Three or more parent volunteers will be needed to accompany each class.

Canoeing Adventure

Twenty-six students are planning a canoeing adventure aboard your trusty canoes on the Churchhill River. The adventure begins on the morning of June 11, 1998, where we will be leaving from Otter Rapids. With assistance from our expert canoer Ms. Fafard, we will brave the rapids, wildlife, and weather. Mr. Bedel and Mr. Mutch have eagerly agreed to accompany us on the trip as a learning experience. On our trip we will stop at Robertson's Falls, Stanley Mission and Nistowiak Falls. We arrive home on June 14.
