Dear Families,
We want to thank the School Enrichment Society for funding Alien Inline Skating for students in grades 3, 4 and 5. The students had a great time, learned new skills and gained so much confidence! Our younger students will be skating in February.
Commemorating Remembrance Day
We were so pleased with the Remembrance Day Program hosted by our Grade 4 students. Students shared messages about the importance of peace and friendship. Families can still donate online to the poppy fund to support Veterans and their families –see the Royal Canadian Legion.
