Dear Families,
Please take time to read through our weekly message as important information is shared. If you have any questions just reach out to our Main Office, Ms. Gocal and Ms. Chorney will happily assist you.
Picture Day was a fun day as students were excited to share their smiles and gather as a class for this year’s class photo. The weather continues to change and having your child(ren) prepared for cooler temperatures and wet days is helpful. Thanks!
Terry Fox Run
We would like to say thank you to all of the students who were able to participate in this year's Terry Fox run! We hope your child(ren) talked to you about the run, how Terry Fox has inspired them, and what goals they have for this school year. As well, we would like to sincerely thank you for any donations you were able to make to the Terry Fox Foundation this year. We continue to count the cash donations and will have a grand total soon! If you would still like to donate, you may do so online at https://schools.terryfox.ca/71691
Thank you for your support!
