Dear Grade 5 Parents:
As part of our Canadian Government unit, students have written letters to the Prime Minister. I have asked my students to show their letters to their parents on the weekend. Parents, please initial the back of the letter as indication that you have read your child's letter. Students need to bring back their letters on Monday when we will mail them to the Office of the Prime Minister in Ottawa.
Also, I have invited the NDP, LIBERAL, and GREEN PARTY candidates in the Vancouver-Kingsway riding to come to speak to our class. So far, the Liberal candidate has confirmed her visit with our class on April 29th.
Finally, please talk to your child about the upcoming provincial election in May. Our students will have a chance to vote for the provincial party of their choice prior to the actual election on May 14th. Remember our government leaders as the Apostle Paul urges us to pray for "all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by joy and happiness" (I Timothy 2:2)
Blessings,
Dave Wu
