Owen Family Update - Week of May 10th, 2021

Hello Owen Families,

We hope you enjoyed the Mother's Day weekend and mom, aunts, grandmothers and mom-like role models had their special day!  With this year long pandemic we need to make time to celebrate these special occasions.

Last week we recognized Children's Mental Health week.  This past year has been difficult for children as their schooling, social interactions and other daily routines have been changed.  Please see this video for signs you might see in your own child.  If you feel your child is struggling, feel free to contact your teacher or administration.  We can access supports to help.

Field Work


We are fortunate to have our field worked on this spring and summer.  A few upgrades will take place:

- The baseball diamond by the portables will be removed.  The gravel will be added to the other baseball diamond to level out the baseball diamond.
- New sod will be added to the old diamond space.
- A mini soccer post will be added in that space.
- Areas will be levelled and drainage added to fix the flooding areas.
- Muddy areas will be seeded to restore the grass.
- An irrigation system will also be added if they can to keep the grass lush and healthy throughout the summer.

The area will be fenced over the summer to give the space a chance to grow so it's ready for the fall.
