A message from the Principal:

 

Hello to all,

 

We finish the week with a beautiful sunny day and a celebration of community. Thank you to all the parents and members of the community that made the Pancake Breakfast such a success. It was a beautiful reminder of the power of community and the importance of giving. Giving of time, of toy donations and of money to help those in need. Boxes of toys were collected and over $2000 in cash donations will be helping those in need. Thank you to all, but a special thanks to Steven Fryer and Jinelle Thompson, for taking the lead.

 

We also finished our volleyball season yesterday with a tournament at HSS. Our two teams played 8 games each in a non-stop round robin. Students had a great time and it was a wonderful way to end the season. Thank you to Wendy Drenka for assistant coaching, all the parent volunteer drivers, Sara Heidenreich for being our 2nd coach yesterday and most of all to Chelsea Corrente for helping these students grow over the course of the last 5 weeks.

 

Please see below for some important information, specifically around the upcoming Winter Concerts.

  • Students go to their classrooms at 6:15pm (not before). Children MUST stay with their parent/guardian until classroom doors open.
