Opening the Time Capsule!! 2000-2012

Were you an Alberton Elementary School student, staff or family member during the 1999-2000 school year?  If so, you are invited to an Open House at the Alberton School Gym on the Saturday of Easter week-end, April 7^th, 2012 from 1-3 pm. (Storm date 10 am to noon April 9^th, Easter Monday)

 Join in the shared excitement of opening The Millennium Time Capsule. All Alberton students placed special items in the capsule in December of 1999 during a celebration banquet to welcome the year 2000. Spread the word so that we can have as many students as possible present to open the Capsule after 12 years in storage!

If you have pictures of your elementary school days that you wish to bring, please be sure you mark your name on the back of your photos and we will be happy to add them to a wall display. Remember to reclaim your pictures before leaving! There is no cost to this event but donations may be placed in a box to offset costs and to contribute to the school breakfast program.  Feel free to bring a “munchie”; chips, dips, cookies, squares and such to add to our snack table. Questions or comments can be sent to mtcain05@gmail.com.

Family members are most welcome to attend and to reclaim items on behalf of students who cannot be present. Unclaimed items will be kept at the school office for pick up until the end of June.

Drumming Presentation – March 14th

Rhythms of the World – Keith Mullins

This 1 hour presentation took students back thousands of years in time to the tribal rhythms of Africa.  Keith is a musician from Cape Breton who is up for 3 ECMA’s this year.  It was a very exciting, interactive musical  presentation.  Ask your child about this!!

Parent Teacher Interviews

Reminder to parents that there is no school on Friday March 9th, 2012.  This is parent teacher interview day.  We will be also having interviews on Thursday evening.  Looking forward to seeing all of you there and discussing how your children are progressing during this school year.

THE STANLEY CUP

Alberton  Elementary  School has received the honor of hosting the Stanley Cup as it tours Prince Edward Island.

Parents are invited to attend this event on:

Wednesday, February 8, 2012

11:49 to 12:49

Because of the tight schedule, these are the arrangements we have made.  The cup will arrive and be placed on a table at the front of the gym.  Each individual class will have a chance to gather round the table and have a photo taken.  If time permits we will invite parents up to view the cup, but it will be impossible for individual pictures to be taken.  Pictures can be taken from a distance.

Please use gym entrance only
