Happy Friday, Raven families, 

As we wrap up another fantastic week, we want to thank you for your continued support. A huge thank you to all the parents who were able to come and see the amazing Grade 5 accomplishments during the Celebration of Learning on Wednesday afternoon. The students were so proud to show off their learning. From exciting classroom activities to fun school events, our students have been engaged and learning in so many ways. Wishing you all a wonderful and restful weekend.

 Jump Rope for Heart:

• For over 40 years, students across Canada have been getting active in support of Heart & Stroke.
• This year, RTA is participating in Jump Rope for Heart – a fundraiser that encourages our students to get active, build healthy habits and give back.
• Students will be completing Jump Rope activities during PE and learning the importance of healthy active lifestyles when it comes to our own heart.
• As a PE team, we are committed to ensuring that students of all ages and abilities feel welcomed, energized, and excited to join in the fun while getting their hearts pumping!
