Highlights

It is hard to believe we only have 2 days left!!  This morning there was a Farewell assembly for the students and staff who will not be with us next year.  We also started putting together wooden boats for Science.  Some the students’ work was sent home with them today.  Please empty this from their backpack so they have room to bring more work with them tomorrow.

Tomorrow is Sports Day!  Students will be outside from 9-10:30 am and from 1-2:30pm.  It is supposed to be warm, so please dress appropriately for the weather.  Don’t forget a hat, water bottle, and sunscreen!
