Dear Parents,

The month of May will soon be over as our summer vacation approaches.  The students are currently learning more about academic arguments so please encourage them if they come home with questions to which an immediate answer is particularly difficult. What they are learning at the moment is that solutions and answers are not always easy to arrive at even if reason and facts are used as a basis for any argument.
