What’s Happening @ Journey May 13-17

Volunteers needed – Our public health nurses will be at Journey on Wednesday morning to immunize our grade six students. Parent volunteers are needed to help guide students to and from the nurses. Please contact Sandy at shull@sd62.bc.ca or 250-642-5881 if you could help us for three hours on May 15.

“Momma Mia” EMCS and Journey Musical Theater present “Momma Mia” June 5, 6, and 7 at 7 pm and June 8 at 2 pm. All shows are at EMCS. The $12 Tickets are available at Journey, EMCS and Shopper’s.

Thank you to the parents who attended the Parent Information Session on Vaping last week and Parenting in the Digital Age the week before.  The presentations were informative, but there is still a lot of information parents need to know and share with their children about the health effects on our young children.

Ms. Kelly Dvorak and Ms.  Johnston are getting ready to start planning our JOURNEY to JAPAN trip 2020.  This trip is open to students who are in grade 7, 8, & 9 during  the 2019/2020 school year, and first priority is given to students who have already hosted a Japanese student.  If you are interested in having your child go on this trip or even if you would like more information, we are hosting our first parent & child informational meeting for  JOURNEY to JAPAN 2020 on MAY tonight at 6 pm. Journey to Japan is a 10 day trip to Tokyo (3 days) and Natori (5 days)  with a homestay family for a cultural exchange.  At that time we will have the estimated price, dates and proposed itinerary for our trip, sign up will be available for families that want to either start a payment plan or pay out right. PLEASE RSVP  this email (kdvorak@sd62.bc.ca) if you are interested in the trip.  Only those people who email me will continue to receive these group emails.
