Dear Families,

Thank you to all of the teachers who have been organized field trips this month!  This past week we have had 3 trips head out to Kananaskis, 2 trips out to Camp Riveredge and the city Track Meet! 

A shout out to all of our parents who also continue to support the Healthy Hunger fundraisers for our students.  The organization and time needed to get those orders out is so appreciated.

We have lots to note below so please take a peek, and mark those calendars!

Enjoy your weekends!

Kel Connelly and Marla Paxton
