P.K. Yonge Spring Arts Festival - Thursday, May 24th:
This is an annual tradition for our school, and such a great event to attend with your family!  You'll have the opportunity to see some of your child's artwork, and there will be many other musical performances, visual galleries and presentations!  Also,  the new elementary building will be open to the public this evening - this is a definite "must see!"  The Arts Festival begins at 4pm, and ends at 7pm.  Food (barbecue dinner and fixings) will be available to purchase on site, as well. Come out and have a good time!  

T-shirts:
Please don't forget to get a blue PK Yonge t-shirt for Space Camp from Mr. Steffens. We require all students and chaperones to wear these on the field trip. They are $12 and we have adult and youth sizes available.
