THE MUSIC PROGRAM
The Music program at Vickers has been bustling as usual! Congratulations to soloists Kai Twyver (trumpet), Maryann Odogwu (saxophone), and the Grade 4 Northern Spirit Flute ensemble who were chosen to perform at the "Best of the Best" 75th Anniversary Music Festival Gala concert at the EA Rawlinson Centre on April 24th. You played beautifully and represented Vickers very well! Now we are getting into Band and Choir trip season so things are really getting busy and fun as we make preparations for those excursions.
For those interested in musical theatre, registration for the fall program of the Broadway North Youth Company opens on Monday, May 1st at 10:00am. This year's production is The Little Mermaid Jr. and the slots do tend to fill up quickly, so register online at www.earc.ca/fall-program to secure your spot!
Mrs. Lohneis wants to extend a thank you to the parents who have been so supportive of all of the activities of the music department this year. We are gearing up for more festivals, performances, and workshops so the fun for this school year isn't over yet! Keep practicing and having fun!

PEDESTRIAN SAFETY
Our staff parking lots are a “no drop off zone” as they are out of bounds for students.
We urge parents to support us in this safety endeavor by dropping off your children on the west side of the school on Olive Diefenbaker Drive; on Bradbury Drive, east of the Special Needs bus zone and between Gisi Road and Olive Diefenbaker Drive.
We encourage the children to cross all streets in a safe manner by crossing at the corner or at cross walks. Teacher supervision is also provided at our major crosswalks.
The Community Club rink parking lot is the bus pick up zone after school for our parents to meet their children for pick up. Please refrain from turning around in the driveways, as this is disruptive to the homeowners.
JOB POSTING ( BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM)

They are looking for junior workers which are grade 7/8, and program workers which are grade 9 and up. Shifts are before school and after school.

We understand that school trips require careful planning, and we will provide you with all the necessary information in advance.
We kindly request that you keep an eye out for emails, Edsby and newsletters regarding upcoming trips. Please ensure that you read the information carefully and return any necessary forms by the deadline provided.
We want to remind you that school trips are optional, and we respect the decision of parents who choose not to send their child on a particular trip. However, we do encourage all our students to participate as it provides them with a unique and valuable learning experience.
