Week Ahead

We were lucky to continue the tradition of the 2nd grade teachers from Forestdale, visiting the kids the first month of school. The visit warmed the hearts of our 3rd-6th graders who loved seeing their teachers from Forestdale.

Thank you to Mrs. MacDonald for once again organizing our annual Cardboard Challenge event. It was so wonderful to see the creativity of the students and to see the joy they had in sharing their creations with friends and family.
