Well, parents and campers, we did it!  You have survived Camp Wilson!  I am so proud of the progress you all have made!  I will miss this great group of campers and wish everyone a super duper family-filled summer vacation!

Now, it's time to end our lovely blogging relationship...you need to unsubscribe to my blog by clicking the UNSUBSCRIBE NOW link at the bottom of this post.  That way, you will no longer receive any more posts to your email from yours truly!  Thank you for all of you who diligently read and followed this blog!



Parents, I will miss your children and I will also miss you!  You have been very supportive to my efforts and I cannot express what that means to a teacher!  Cheers to another successful year!  Good luck with your little people in the junior division!

This is Counsellor Wilson, signing off one final time!

Parents!  I desperately need your help!  My personal library has diminished to about 1/2 the size it was in September!  Please ask your child ...

1.  If they have returned their independent reading black take home pouch AND books yet

2.  If they have ANY of my personal books laying around the house.


It's fine that books were borrowed, that's what they are there for, however, I would appreciate it if you and your child could take another look around for any misplaced books.  Thank you!  Last chance tomorrow to replenish my book baskets...thank you!



REPORT CARDS:  I am still waiting on 5 more report cards to be returned signed.  Please make sure you cut off the bottom portion and sign and return it by tomorrow.  We need our OSRs to be completed by end of year.

Thank you! 

I hope you all had a chance to do a quick check on the End of the Year CDs I sent home Monday to ensure all of the songs were burned properly!  I haven't heard from anyone yet, so I am hoping that no news is good news!  Enjoy the memories!

Here's to a rainy, second last day of school!  Wish us luck as we compete in our annual Spelling Bee today!

It's the final countdown!

For those of you who don't know the band Europe...well, I guess you weren't a teenager in the 80's!  Maybe I'm dating myself by putting up a link to one of the best all time songs of the 80s, but it was just so fitting for the beginning of our FINAL week of Camp Wilson!
