On Tuesday, June 7th, Div 1 went to Kings Links Golf Course in Ladner for a 90 minute session learning to drive, pitch and putt a golf ball. We had a lot of fun and everyone showed respect for the instructors and golf course. Thank you to the Miller family for the Dilly Bar treat when we arrived back at school. They really hit the spot after our time in the sunshine.
On Thursday the Gr 7s set up their Sports Day stations so that our Gr 1 and 1/2 class could try them out. This was to help Sports Day not be so scary and confusing for our younger students. It meant moving a lot of equipment in and out of the school. And then we had to do it all again on Friday!! But the students did a tremendous job of creating, organizing, setting up and running the stations. Compliments came from parents, teachers, Mr. Chahal and, most importantly, the other students on the well-thought out, interesting activities. Well done everyone!
Permissions slips for canoeing on Deas Island Slough on Tues Jun 14, and June 21 (9 am to 3 pm) should have come home Wed/Thurs, however I see a number of them still on desks today. We will need parent drivers (and canoers, if you want). If you see this blog on the weekend and can drive, but don't have the permission slip yet, please email me (pogloff@deltasd.bc.ca) so I know we can actually get all of the students to and from the park.
Also coming up next week, on Friday, June 17th, Constable Atkinson will be in to show the video "Behind the Blue Lens" and speak with the students about drugs and alcohol.

Fantastic Fine Arts Week
We had a fantastic Fine Arts Week (May 30 - Jun 3) where students from Division 1 really showed initiative, responsibility and talent.
Congratulations to our Holka Polka co-directors Emma and Jenny for a fabulous play. Emma and Jenny selected the play, ran auditions, chose the cast and held weekly practices since Spring Break. All that work resulted in two terrific performances on May 31 and raised over $150 for Children's Hospital. The girls were assisted by cast members from Div 1: Ryley, Luke and Emmie, as well as Sound crew: Stephen, Kody, Eric and Emily and Lights crew: Emmie, Robbie, Kody and Harrison. A big thank you also goes to students who helped set up the stage and chairs, and handed out programs. Thank you also to the Manojlovic family for providing the pizza for our cast and crew party.
On June 3rd our Pebble Hill Talent Show in combination with the Parent Appreciation Tea was another opportunity for our students to show their Pebble Hill pride. Performers included Emma and Jenny dancing, and Emily and Nolan on the piano as well as our MCs Lauren and Olivia. Div 1 Students really showed responsibility and service by setting up the Sound: Danielle, Sam, Robbie, and helping with the set up AND take down of the stage, tables, chairs, and table decorations in a very short time. Many hands do make light work as the students so ably demonstrated.
