Kingston Real Estate Agents to support the purchase of Beaverbots (cardboard cutters). Additional funds were raised through a raffle featuring items donated by the Limestone Quilters Guild, the sale of DIY Rad Rhino buttons at two Boo Bash events, and a generous $300 contribution from the School Advisory Council. Thanks to this amazing community support, we were able to purchase four Beaverbots for the school!</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Students have since used the Beaverbots to create planes, famous buildings, 3D ornaments, and bridges.

Many families have offered to cover the cost of other students attending field trips as some families appreciate this support for theor children to go on field trips. We used to have paper field trip forms on which you could check a box to help support another child, but with digital permission forms this is not an option. We now have Products on School Day for supporting other students on field trips if this is something that you would like to do.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p><h2 class="editor-heading-h2" style="text-align: start;"><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">ENRICHMENT WORKSHOP SERIES at RIDEAU:&nbsp;</strong></b></h2><p class="editor-paragraph" style="text-align: start;"><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">A Series of Workshops for Students by Visiting Experts</strong></b><br></p><p class="editor-paragraph" style="text-align: start;"><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Workshop #2:&nbsp;Poetry with Sadiqa de Meijer</strong></b></p><p class="editor-paragraph" style="text-align: start;"><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Wednesday, April 8 at 10:45-11:45 and Thursday, April 9 at 10:45-11:30 in the library</strong></b><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Students in grades 4-6 are invited to join&nbsp;</span><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Sadiqa de Meijer, Kingston's Poet Laureate</strong></b><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">, for a 2-part workshop on poetry that asks the question,&nbsp;</span><i><em class="editor-text-italic" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">What would Lake Ontario sound like in a poem?</em></i></p><p class="editor-paragraph" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">This poetry workshop will explore, through reading a poem, improvising on it with some humour, and then creating our own works, a deeper engagement with where we live.&nbsp;</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The workshop will be documented by members of The Rideau Tribune, our school’s student newspaper, and some of the resulting poems may be published in the upcoming issue.&nbsp;</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" style="text-align: start;"><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Please encourage your child to attend!</strong></b></p><p class="editor-paragraph" style="text-align: start;"><br></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Save the Dates:</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><i><em class="editor-text-italic" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">May 9 - Pop-cycle Sale</em></i></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><i><em class="editor-text-italic" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">May 12 - Kindergarten Social</em></i></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><i><em class="editor-text-italic" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">June 10 - Yead-end Family BBQ</em></i></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">This week:</strong></b></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">April 6 - </span><i><em class="editor-text-italic" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Easter Monday – no school</em></i></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">April 7 - Parent Council</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">April 8 - Morawiec Swim to Survive</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">April 10 - </span><i><em class="editor-text-italic" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Holy Friday</em></i></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Upcoming:</strong></b></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">April 13 - Kindergarten &amp;
