HAPPY TRAILS MEMO
    JUNE 2021

                REMOTE LEARNING
              During remote learning, school staff
            will continue to work in school, and
            classes will be conducted within the
            hours of the school day. Teachers will
            be available daily between 9:00-3:30
            by email, or phone. Any additional
            information will be shared by
            teachers either through their Seesaw
            (K-4), Microsoft Teams or Google
            Classroom (Grades 5-8) accounts.

Amber Trails Farm 2021
           It’s Farm Season Again!
 The students of Amber Trails Community School are currently busy
 preparing the farm for the summer. We are searching for
 community members who would like to invest in a share of our
 farm and its veggies. In return for your investment, you will receive
 a weekly selection of fresh veggies throughout the harvest season.
 This way of getting vegetables is called a Community Shared
 Agriculture Model (CSA).

 It's that time of year again!
 Amber Trails Farm is excited to
 announce another summer full of
 fresh and delicious produce to sell.
 For more information about the
 farm or how to sign up for a share,
 please email us at...
    ambertrailsfarm@gmail.com.

“Membership in a CSA creates relationships between people and the
food they eat, the land on which it is grown, and those who grow it.
This supportive relationship helps to create an economically stable
farm operation. This allows farmers to ensure proper land
stewardship practices in order for the soil to be healthy for
generations to come.” — Community Supported Agriculture Manitoba
Please check out www.csamanitoba.org for more information about
how a CSA works. How It Works:
1. You purchase a share of the harvest in the spring time (RIGHT
NOW!)
2. We will arrange a weekly pickup at Amber Trails School of your
share of the veggies during the harvest season.
*** Please understand that this way of getting veggies is about
sharing

Library reminder

Greetings, Library Trailblazers!
It’s Mr. Merv, your friendly-neighbourhood library tech!
This is a message for all my Trailblazers who are remote
learning and soon to be graduating grade 8.

The month of June is upon us and it’s time to return those
library books!
Beginning June 1, a tub will be at the front entrance of
the school for library returns.

This is for students that are remote learning. If you are still
attending school, I will collect your books during your
regular library time.

Be safe everyone!
Mr. Merv

Tribute to our beloved students
 Sadly, we have had to say
 goodbye to three of our special
 friends.

 Sachleen passed away earlier this
 spring and as a tribute to the
 amazing impact she had on her
 classmates and the staff of Amber
 Trails School, her classroom
 teacher, Mrs. Villaverde, the Little
 Owls of Room 105, Learning
 Support, Music and Dance teachers
 created a beautiful book and
 video package, which were gifted
 to the family.

                                        A permanent memorial for
                                        our dear friend Jacob is
                                        hanging on the wall of the
                                        main floor hallway.

    “Look for me in Rainbows”
  This beautiful work of art was
  created by Kaydence and her
  friends in Room 118.

Sachleen, Jacob and Kaydence will always hold a special place
       in the hearts of our Amber Trails School family.
