Sophie suns herself in the wading pool during the JK/SK "Pool Party"

The Little Gym sponsored a contest this week where students were invited to submit a picture of their favourite thing at the gym to win a free day at Little Gym camp this summer - rather than using a pre-printed colouring page Sophie and I decided we could do one better, and I drew a picture for her to colour. That's her favourite teacher "Mr. Dan" helping her balance on the beam, in case you're wondering...

My artistic daughter took this picture at the Western Fair Farmer's Market on Saturday, showing her view of the market and a very cool chair at the tea shop

An experiment I did when Rhys and Rowan were here - I lined up and labelled about 15 different objects and had them guess which ones would stick to a magnet and which ones wouldn't.

The end of the school year is now just around the corner, and many things are coming to a close as a result... on Monday I hosted the final School Council meeting of the year, Sophie graduated from her class at The Little Gym on Tuesday, and the JK/SK classes had an end-of-year Pool Party on Thursday.

Although it had nothing to do with the end of the school year, we had another "finale" of sorts this week when Chris and I attended an informal goodbye party for both current and former staff of TeleTech, the call centre where we both worked for quite some time. I was a Trainer and Chris worked an assortment of roles from Technical Support to Quality Assurance to Training Assistant - and while we've both been out of that environment for a number of years we certainly made connections that lasted. With the centre closing down at the end of the summer, some of the staff took it upon themselves to plan a party to bring anyone who'd ever worked there together for a blow-out... it was a hoot seeing people in person that I've only bumped into on Facebook since I left six years ago.

As old things come to a close new things begin, and this Thursday evening also brought me to the Thames Valley District School Board for my first meeting as a member of the TVPIC (Thames Valley Parent Involvement Council). It was an opportunity for me to meet the other members of the group, and take part in a presentation and discussion on Mental Health resources in the school system - interesting stuff that I'm sure will educate and challenge me as my time with the group moves forward.

Busy again! Wow, Teletech closed down. That's a sad sign of things to come I think. India, China, etc. will be the places where the call centers will be located. Hmmmm. mayby they need trainers in China Summer. That would be an interesting place to live for a few years.
