Dear Fieldstone Community,
We hope everyone had a restful Victoria Day long weekend.
After a rescheduling due to rain, and on a lovely May morning, we finally had our Track and Field Day. Our enterprising students ran in 60M, 100M, and relay races to win medals and gain house points. We are grateful to Mr. Makubuya for his planning, motivation, and positive energy; we are also thankful to all the teachers who helped ensure that the event proceedings were smooth, fair, and thoroughly enjoyable. To the parents who came to support our students: Thank you. We hope you enjoyed the races! For those who missed it, please enjoy the few photos below.
Today was DIY Day, and we saw some very creative and fun styles. Our students really let their imaginations soar with the kind of outfits they wore. Please enjoy some group photos below.
Next week, we have the SSAF Track & Field events. On Monday, the 26th, our U12/Elementary students will travel to the Toronto Track & Field Center to participate in competitive track and field. On Friday the 30th, our U8/U10 students will travel to the same venue for the SSAF track and field events. We wish our young athletes the very best of luck! Parents are welcome to join. Please email Mr. Makubuya if you wish to accompany the students to cheer them on!
On Wednesday, May 28, we will participate in the Jump Rope for Heart Event. This wonderful event is held to celebrate the benefits of physical activity and healthy habits while raising money for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Students are asked to wear red athletic clothing and running shoes. We will be donating to the Heart and Stroke Foundation as a school, and kindly request a $1 or $2 donation. Please note that this event is being held on Wednesday instead of Friday to include the students of Grades 1 to 4 who are travelling for the SSAF Track & Field competition on Friday.
Amid all this activity outside of classes, we have thorough and focused reviews and preparation inside Science, Math, and English classrooms for the upcoming Progression Tests. These diagnostic, feedback-oriented assessments will measure the success of the year-long learning in the three core subjects. Every achievement will be met with a positive review to encourage and motivate our learners to work towards their own personal best standard.
Until next week, stay safe and have a lovely weekend.
Sincerely,
Shumaila Khan

Character Counts! Pins Programme
Character building is important at Fieldstone, where we truly believe that character counts. The Character Counts! programme has found that there are at least six values that should be taught to all children. These are known as the “Six Pillars of Character”. Fieldstone students work diligently towards earning their Character Pins (photos on the right). We are very proud of them! Several students have been working diligently on their Character pins! You can find out more about the Character Counts Pin Programme HERE. If your child would like to participate in this wonderful programme, please ask your child to see Ms. Butcher.
