Thank you very much to the PIP Committee and all the parent and student volunteers for devoting their time to a successful Spring Tea on Saturday. The event seemed to run very smoothly and everyone enjoyed the food and the vendors. A great job was done by all!!!
Last Thursday, April 22 was Earth Day and all of the students in the school spent some time outside picking up garbage on the school grounds and in the neighbourhood. Thank you to all the students and everyone who are working on protecting our earth.

They are working through the book reading orally in class, completing questions, vocabulary and meeting in Literature Circles for discussion. We will be watching the movie once we are done reading.
