Our Grades 2 and 3 students hosted a Multicultural Fair. Parents and guests were treated to traditional foods, dress and
artifacts
from around the globe. Students worked hard on their projects, and learned so much about being a global citizen.
- On Wednesday, Feb. 27, our school held our annual Pink Shirt Day, focussing on kindness and standing up against bullying. Students participated in many activities with their "sibling class", class partnerships between older and younger students. Moving forward, our students are going to focus on Random Acts of Kindness to help our school continue to be "A Great Place To Be"!
- Congratulations to Liza K '21 on winning the Junior Instrumental Rose Bowl in the Kiwanis Music Festival!
