Highlights of the Week: February 27 - March 5

What a strange weather weekend this was!  I'm sure many of us were watching all day Saturday to see when the snow that was forecast would appear - and then it did appear, with a vengeance!  Today it was so strange to see sun, hail, snow and more sun in quick succession!  Hopefully this is the last blast of winter and we will start to see warmer weather!

THANK YOU

  • to Alisha Miller,  Mrs. Olivares and the Grade 5/6 Class for the delicious pancake breakfast enjoyed by so many on Shrove Tuesday!  How fun to have that tradition restored.

  • to Mrs. Olivares and her class for making posters and decorating the school for Pink Shirt Day

  • to the helpers who came to hang the sign above the stage on Friday - I'm sorry, I don't have your names in front of me as I type this, but God knows and rewards you!!!
