Weekly Highlights: Oct. 30 - Nov. 5

It was a busy time last week with so much happening during the school day, after school and in the evening.  The next couple of weeks will be a little bit less hectic, thankfully!

THANK YOU

  • to everyone who contributed to making Games Night a success.  This is always a great community building activity, so having so many people attend really made it all worthwhile.  Special thanks go to Mrs. Choboter and the Grade 7 class for all the hard work they put into setting up, running the evening and cleaning up.  Thank you to the many staff members who also contributed before, during and after the event, and to the parents who supported in various ways.
