PARENTS,
We teamed up with the Joseph Maley Foundation and have been recognizing disability awareness week. There have been special activities designed to help students develop empathy and an understanding for others. This morning we will enjoy a presentation from the Dancing Wheels Company at 8:15 a.m., and all are invited to attend. 

Our Grade 5 students will also put on a tea for their parents and special guests at 1:00 p.m. today. If you do not have a Grade 5 student yet, don't worry. Your time will come to enjoy this wonderful SRES tradition! 

What do you get when you cross a busy school with no Midweek Message? A lot of announcements in the Electronic Friday Folder!
