BA at Lunenburg Lit Fest
As part of Lunenburg Lit Festival, our Grade 8 and 9 students walked to the Lunenburg Heritage Bandstand on September 24th to hear Lunenburg author, Jo Treggiari, read selections from her newest book, "The Grey Sisters". This was a wonderful opportunity for our students to be able to ask questions of one of our local authors. We want to thank the South Shore Public Libraries for organizing this opportunity, and for providing each of our students with their own copy of Jo's new book!
