Track Practice Cancelled Today (Thurs 29 April)

Hello everybody.
As you can tell it's quite yucky outside and with the rain overnight and a drizzly morning I guess we'll cancel track practice for today. If you're a die hard trackie, go run up and down your street a few times! Other than that, we'll see you next Thurs 10am - 12noon at Polson.
Any questions comments or concerns, plz email me (gonzocanada@gmail.com).

Camping Trip

Posted for Zena from Kelowna Homeschoolers Group:

I've arranged a homeschool camping trip, arriving in the afternoon of Friday 4th June, staying overnight on the 4th and Saturday 5th June, leaving on the Sunday morning.
It's at Camp Dunlop in Kelowna: http://www.campdunlop.com/
The cost is $5 per person, per night, either tenting or in the bunkhouse.
Canoe rental is extra ($15 for a two day rental, including safety equipment).
We have space for more people. If you haven't already, please let me know ASAP if you'd like to join us. (I need to know how many adults/ children, the ages of the children and who, if any, is with SelfDesign.)
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions,
Zena.
