It is a very exciting day and the students love to

This summer, fun costs less.

Through the 2016 Fun Pass, Ontario has 18 popular attractions across the province offering free admission for one child when they are accompanied by a paying adult or senior. Parents also save $2 on a daily parking permit at selected Ontario's provincial parks.

Learning doesn’t stop when school ends. Your kids can learn and have fun during the summer months by visiting one of Ontario’s attractions – from exploring a 200-year old shipwreck at Discovery Harbour in Penetanguishene to experiencing the world of science through interac-tive exhibits at the Ontario Science Centre in Toronto.

Simply bring a coupon – found in the 2016 Fun Pass booklet or at Ontario.ca/funpass– to any participating attraction. It’s that easy.

Now is the time to plan activities that will keep your child’s mind busy and

actively involved during those long and lazy days of summer. One suggestion

is the Learning Advantage Workbook in English or French. Each Activity book offers 192 fully coloured pages designed to

reinforce and maintain students' academic learning skills over the summer . There is a different activity for each grade -

from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 7. Each grade level book features units aligned with the Ontario curriculum; parent

information pages, evaluation forms; follow up activities and a family focus. The cost of each book is $20.00. Visit

www.learningadvantage.ca to download a free unit of the book you would like to order. This year, orders can be done on line

or through the mail. Please do not send order forms back to the school.
