What a great week! The kids were amazing, and they worked so hard on a variety of tasks. They definitely deserve a fabulous weekend off. Today the students showed off their hip hop skills, and a video will be coming to you via email!
The Grade 3's are leading the school in a food drive this holiday season. We are asking families to send in non-perishable food items for the Calgary Food Bank. The Grade 3's will be promoting the food drive through morning announcements, posters and presentations in other classrooms. We will be accepting donations until Monday December 13th. Thank you supporting this cause!
