Journal ## [Weekly Wednesday- April 10th 2019](https://blog.junioracademy.com/blog/weekly-wednesday-april-10th-2019) Apr 15, 2019 9:50:27 AM / by [Junior Academy](https://blog.junioracademy.com/blog/author/junior-academy) - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) Wednesday, April 10, 2019  Dear JA Families, Thank you to all of the families who attended our Family Bowling Night last week. It was a wonderful event and was very well attended.  A reminder that we will be having an early dismissal tomorrow due to the Spring Parent-Teacher Conferences. Details are listed below. **Parent – Teacher Conferences** **Tomorrow from 2:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m.** Kindergarten, grades one and two will be dismissed at **1:30**, grade three and four and five at **1:40** and grades six through eight at **1:50**. Aftercare will be available starting from 1:30 until 6:00. **Usborne book fair** Our Annual Usborne Book Fair is being held today and tomorrow. The book fair will be open from **3:00 – 4:30 today** and from **7:45 – 8:15 and 2:00 – 6:00 tomorrow**. Please, come into the library and browse when you come in for your Parent – Teacher Conference. Classes will browse the book fair today and students may bring money to purchase books on Thursday.   **Real Food for Real Kids Update** As many of you know, RFRK recently let us know that they are dropping schools from their business model, however, we have been able to negotiate an opportunity to continue offering the RFRK Lunch Club next year! In order to make the lunch program work, we will require a minimum of 35 students, as well as hire someone on a part-time basis to serve the food to the students. The good news is that Kevin, the current server, has agreed to remain on, should we continue to run the program. He is very familiar with all of our students, their dietary requirements, and has been a great addition to our JA community We ask you take 1 minute to fill out a very brief survey in order to give us a better idea if this is something families want to continue with.   Please click on the link here [https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/9FVHYD6](https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/9FVHYD6) **Mindful Moments – Parent Info Session: April 16th** Our last Parent Information Evening was cancelled due to inclement weather and it has been rescheduled for Tuesday, April 16th. This session will take place at 7:00 p.m, and Occupational Therapist, Kristine Locklin and Yoga Practitioner, Christie Chapman will speak about the importance of mindfulness and will also present how we have incorporated Mindful Moments into our school day.
