May has brought a small sprinkle of rain to the Manitoba heartland. Funny how a mild winter softens me up and has me expecting perfect weather from now until eternity!
May also brings the passion and excitement of the Stanley Cup playoffs to life! Our Jets missed out on the big party (much to Mr. Burnett’s chagrin), and the Maple Leafs didn’t qualify (no surprise there), but the Flyers are still alive and kicking! There’s a little room left on the bandwagon but it’s getting crowded so hurry up.
May also brings the start of soccer and baseball season. I hope as many of our students as possible have signed up for these two great summer sports. I know I’m going Monday to Thursday with my little ones. It’s one of the best times of the year! Minimal equipment, outdoor viewing and ice cream after the game… what’s not to like?
We are installing new swings at OVS this week thanks to our wonderful Parent Council. They raised funds through the Trivia Night and other activities to purchase a shiny new swingset that should serve the community well! It should be open for business this weekend so come on down and check it out!
