Good afternoon, Raven families,

We kicked off June with a wonderful Grade 9 Farewell ceremony on Thursday, followed by an equally great evening at Heritage Park—complete with access to the rides, dinner, and a dance. It was so nice to see our students dressed up, enjoying themselves, and celebrating together.

As we head into the final stretch of the school year, we are enjoying the sunshine and looking ahead to a busy and exciting few weeks. June is packed with events and activities, including the Grade 7 & 8 Band Concert, Grade 5 Outdoor School, field experiences, our Talent Show, the year-end STEM Challenge, and final assessments.

Canada Wide Science Fair:

·         A huge congrats to RTA’s very own grade 8 Gayatri, who earned a Silver Excellence Award in the Junior category at the Canada Wide Science Fair in Fredericton this week!

Ravens Track and Field:

·         A huge thank you to all the students, staff, and families for an incredible track and field season! Your energy, commitment, and support helped make it a memorable one. We are so proud to share that the Ravens finished third overall—a fantastic achievement that reflects the hard work and heart of our athletes.

·         Whether you were running, jumping, throwing, cheering, coaching, or driving athletes to meets, you played a part in this success. Way to go, Ravens!
