June 7, 2026

We hope that you have enjoyed the weekend and that everyone is well rested and ready for a busy week ahead.  Monday, June 8th is day 4 on the Instructional Schedule.

June 8th, 2026, marks the 13th anniversary of the Corporal Jamie Brendan Murphy Community Park.  Thirteen years ago, our regional community came together with love and hope to create a safe space where children could play and learn for generations.  For every member of the 700-person team, achieving this goal was an essential act of social justice.  On June 8th, 2013, those dreams were realized.  Weather permitting, we will gather in our play-park tomorrow to celebrate this milestone and reconfirm our commitment to its purpose.

A video featuring photos from the construction of the park on June 8th, 2013, is available on our school website at ahe.nlesd.ca.

Please note that the park will be closed for routine maintenance and pea stone replacement starting June 12th, 2026. We will provide an update once the space reopens.

A big thank you is extended to everyone who helped out in any way with our breakfast on Friday, June 5th.  From the comments of our  students we could tell that it was a huge success!

We have a busy week ahead with several events scheduled for our students, as follows:

• Monday, June 8th:  CJBM Park Day for everyone.

• Tuesday, June 9th: Field Day for Kindergarten, Grade 1, and Grade 2.

• Wednesday, June 10th: Grade 5 Field Trip to Carbonear and Bay Roberts.

• Thursday, June 11th: Field Day for Grades 3 and 4.

• Friday, June 12th: Grade 2 Field Trip to the Fluvarium.

• Friday, June 12th:  Pride Day where ALL ARE WELCOME!

Field Days are organized events held on the school grounds designed to involve students in a variety of fun, physical activities that take place both inside and outside.  These are held weather permitting with some events taking place on the next available good weather day.  Ms. Norman is a master at organizing and making sure we get them in before the end of the school year.  Just be sure that your child is ready to participate with sunscreen protective clothing and footwear available when needed.

Field Trips are events that take place away from the school grounds and normally involve busing and fees.  For these events, permission forms are signed and fees are paid through RYCOR in advance of the event. 

June is Pride Month and Friday, June 12th is Pride Day at your school.  Everyone is encouraged to wear the colors of the rainbow as we continue to grow and develop as a place where ALL ARE WELCOME!

It has been an exciting few days here at your school as we supported Karlee MacDonald and Jumped for the Janeway!  On Friday, May 29th, school was alive with excitement for the 2026 Champion Child for the Janeway Children's Miracle Network.

We counted our donations right up until the Telethon and are now pleased to announce that we collected $5010.25.  Thank you to everyone who believes in the great work of the Janeway Child Health Centre and who were able to support this initiative on behalf of Karlee and her family.

Finally today, our AHE Countdown to Summer will be circulated soon.  Please use this to guide your child's participation in school activities and events between June 12th and June 25th, 2026.
