News and Announcements
June 15, 2025
We hope that you are enjoying this weekend and Happy Father’s Day to all who are celebrating. As we begin classes this second last week of school, Monday, June 16th, 2025, is Day 4 on the Instructional Schedule.
We have another busy week ahead with Field Trips, a Field Day, Pirates! The Musical and school-based celebrations of National Indigenous Peoples Day.
As you are aware, all school events are set out in the calendar on the school’s website. Our Grade 6 classes are off to St. John’s for a Field Trip tomorrow and the Grade 3 Field Trip to Bay Roberts is planned for Friday, June 20th, 2025. Everyone should note that consent forms must be signed by parents before a child can travel on a bus to any off campus event.
The Kindergarten, Grade 1 and Grade 2 Field Day is set for Tuesday, June 17th. For this event, we ask that children come to school dressed for outside play and with sunscreen to protect from UV Rays.
Alternate dates for field days are set aside just in case our great Newfoundland and Labrador weather doesn't cooperate. Because we make decisions about the rain-out dates at the school, you may want to keep a change of clothes and sunscreen in a backpack - just in case!
Pirates! The Musical is set for the school stage at 1:00 PM on Thursday, June 19th, 2025. Tickets for the event are only available through our online ticketing portal and cannot be purchased at the door.
June is National Indigenous History Month and Saturday, June 21st, 2025, is National Indigenous Peoples Day. It coincides with the summer solstice and the beginning of a season of berry picking and fishing, powwows and gatherings for the diverse Indigenous Peoples in Canada.
On Friday, June 20th, we will engage in school-wide learning to recognize, celebrate and honour the traditions, cultures, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit and Métis. Everyone is invited to wear a mix of colors - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet - to show their appreciation for the four elements of nature: earth, water, fire, and air. These illustrate the deep connection Indigenous cultures have with the natural world.
Friday, June 20th, 2025, is the last day for food service by Rainbow Food Services for this school year. We extend special thanks to Ms. Percy and Ms. Butler for the dedication and support that they show every day to the students here at All Hallows Elementary School.
Attached in your email is a copy of our AHE Countdown to Summer 2025. You are invited to support your student’s involvement in the suggested activities.
As always, we are thankful for your support and engagement as together we make schooling a positive experience for each child. Have a great evening and a wonderful week.
A Very Special Program
Basketball is an amazing sport. It is fast, it is exciting, and anyone can play. No matter who you are, there is no feeling on the court like hitting your first shot!
With that spirit in mind, North River Rec is teaming up with Special Olympics Newfoundland and Labrador to offer a program to kids with disabilities to come and learn basketball and have fun with their peers. Our local Special Olympics chapter, Tri-Con Gentle Giants staff will be assisting the NRR coaching crew in offering fundamental basketball training for patrons on Wednesdays from 4pm to 5pm at All Hallows Elementary in North River. This is a trial program for 4 weeks to gauge interest in a longer, more involved program. The target age for this program is age 7-12 years old.
If you have a child who would like to play, please do not hesitate to sign up. There is no charge for this program with NRR absorbing any costs associated with equipment, etc. Children are required to have lace up sneakers suitable for gym activities and a smile. We will take care of the rest.
Please email triconspecialolympics@gmail.com to sign up today as our first practice will be Wednesday, May 28, 2025.

As the weather warms up, we find the need to remind everyone about our guidelines on how students should dress for school. In dressing your young learner for school and school events, please make sure that shirts and tops completely cover the upper body. Strapless, spaghetti strap, single narrow-strap, off the shoulder, and belly tops are not appropriate and are not permitted. Short-shorts and miniskirts are also not appropriate and not permitted. T-Shirts and articles of clothing that contain inappropriate language, logos, and street slang are not permitted. Keep in mind that we are an elementary school and clothing worn to a beach or campground may not be appropriate for this environment.
Indoor running shoes are required for inside the building and physical education activities. As they can easily fall off the foot, Crocks and flips are not appropriate for children to wear inside the school or when participating in school activities. Appropriate outdoor footwear must be worn to school and for all school related outdoor activities and field trips.
When we see inappropriate behaviours and clothing at school, we will engage with parents to ensure that all children continue to be protected, safe and secure. We seek everyone’s cooperation to ensure that smooth school routines, procedures and high expectations are supported and consistently applied in every way, every day. These are the things that make us great and keep us safe.
As you are aware, teachers are in the process of planning year-end events for their grade level groups. Activities are now scheduled for all classes and the dates can be viewed through the calendar on our website. Parents with children in Grades 1, 2, 4 and 5 received information on year-end events on Friday, May 30th. Parents with students in Kindergarten, and Grades 3 and 6 will get the information in the next few days.
Grade 6 students will be visiting Amalgamated Academy in Bay Roberts for Grade 7 Orientation on Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025. A memo and permission form was sent home last week. Please note that consent forms must be signed by parents before a child can travel on a bus to any off campus event.
During the month of May our Library Learning Common has sponsored a school-wide Battle of Canadian Books. There has been tons of interest from our students with everyone participating and voting on selected books by Canadian authors. On Thursday, June 5th, we are holding a school-side celebration to bring it all together and announce the winning book. We are calling it Canada Day and invite everyone to dress in the colors of our Canadian Flag - red and white!
June is Pride Month in schools throughout the province of Newfoundland and Labrador with this year's theme as Proud To Be Me!. It is a time to celebrate differences and acknowledge safe places where everyone is respected and welcomed. Friday, June 6th, is Pride Day at your school. Everyone is invited to wear a rainbow of colors or to just be themselves. We are a school where everyone is welcome, where everyone is respected and where everyone can be safe.
Pirates! The Musical is set for the school stage on June 19th, 2025. Parents with students in Grades 5 & 6 are asked to note a memo from Ms. L. Mercer, Music Teacher, regarding costumes for this production. Tickets for the event are available through our online ticketing portal.
