Movie Night
We had another great night for the second Mario Brothers showing last evening. I wanted to say a big thanks to everyone who had a hand in making this possible. Also, a big thanks to our grade 4 volunteers who helped out in the classrooms handing out goodies and directing parents.
School Council Meeting on Monday
For those interested, we will be presenting our annual School Development Plan, Budget and Fees presentation. We will also be sending out information following the meeting and asking for feedback from parents. We will use this information to assist us in planning for the 2024-2025 school year.
