Mark June 6th on your calendar for an afternoon of fun in the sun. The Mulgrave staff and significant others challenge the parents to a recreational slow pitch softball game (the Canadian version of rounders). We will meet at 4:00 p.m. at Selwyn Field (Mountain Highway at Fern) for an afternoon of fun and frolic. You need not worry about equipment. Just bring a baseball glove and a pair of runners. The children are welcome to come and cheer you/us on. If you are interested please contact Mr. Schramm (Daniel, G.2) or Mr. Staff (Natalie, G.2, Rebecca & Olivia, K.).

I was asked at the recent Head's Conference how it was that a school could grow from twelve to one hundred and sixteen in three short years. A two word response sufficed - faith and utter commitment. Over and over, these qualities have been demonstrated unswervingly by faculty, staff, parents and children, and tonight we will enjoy, and our children will unquestionably benefit from, an evening organised by a Herculean team, assisted by an amazing parent body - thank you all so very much.

MEASURELESS

There are miles to measure countries,
There are bushels, too for wheat

There are fathoms for the ocean.
Degrees to measure heat

There are years to measure ages
Light years for stars above

But no way has been discovered
To measure mother love.
