The Lost and Found from March has been taken care of and now we have a large number of items that has collected since then. A big thanks to Tasha Mash for helping to sort it out. Some items had names in them and were able to be returned to their owners. The following were not labeled and are very lonely for their people.

Dear Swift Families,

May has arrived – it is so hard to believe that the end of the school year is just around the corner. It is common this time of year for us to see more unexpected behaviours from students. We appreciate your continued support with reminders of what is expected – also a good night’s sleep always helps!

Students from Abbotsford brought home 5 medals from the Skills Canada BC Provincial Competition, which took place on April 19, 2023, at the Tradex. The competition featured students from across the province showcasing their skills in trades, serving as the next round of competitions following the regionals held in early March. From Electrical Wiring, Carpentry, Automotive Service, and TV and Film, students successfully demonstrated their expertise, showcased their mastery of the trade and highlighted their creative talents.

Smile Cookie Week is here, with Tim Hortons announcing that the annual campaign will take place from May 1 – 7 in communities nationwide. In Abbotsford, 100% of the proceeds collected from the sale of the iconic pink and blue smile cookies will go directly to the Abbotsford School District’s “Back to School” event, providing students and families who need extra support with a backpack of school supplies, hygiene products, and food hampers.

Congratulations to our April Star Students! Their Certificates are on the display board for all to see. May is our last Star Student Month so if your child has not yet received a Star Student Certificate, there is still one month to go. All Swift Students are Stars and get a chance to be on our display board.

The March Star Students will have their celebration day on Tuesday, May 9.
