Principal’s Message – June 6th
Dear École Herbert Spencer Community,
We are officially into June and unofficially welcome back the sun and warm weather! Just in time for all the fun year end activities, events and trips planned to round out the 2024/25 school year.
A few important announcements to make:
2024/25 Herbert Spencer Yearbook! – LAST CHANCE! Pre-sales for the yearbook will close on June 7th, this is the final chance to buy a yearbook for $25 and receive classroom delivery. After this, the remaining yearbooks will be sold in person after school on Friday June 20th, for $30, cash only. Questions? Contact the PAC Yearbook committee at yearbook.herbertspencer@gmail.com.
Library Books – Books are due for return this Monday, June 9th. Please scour your shelves and all the nooks and crannies and return all Library Books. Ms Thomas needs to account for all outstanding books and get our library ready and organized for next year.
New Westminster Senior Salmonbellies Tickets! – We have been provided a HUGE number of free General Admission Tickets for any Senior Salmonbellies home game. Please just stop in at the office and request your tickets. We are happy to accommodate large requests as well if you are hoping to bring your team or larger group to a regular home season game.
