Celebrating Springtime in Kindergarten
Celebrating Springtime in Kindergarten
The kindergarten students did an egg drop. Each child had to create a protective covering for their egg. Then they dropped them from a ladder to test their covering. They also made some sidewalk chalk creations and had fun with bubbles.

Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon
Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon
It was wonderful to be able to honour so many of our volunteers. Volunteers were entertained by the students and treated to lunch. Thank you to all of the volunteers, even those that were not able to attend the event, for all the support you give the school. We could not be the wonderful place we are without you! Thank you also to Ms. Newton for organizing the event and to Miss Middleton for working with the students so they could provide the entertainment.
