Last Friday, our Grade 1 and 2 students enjoyed a fantastic Track and Field Day! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Students demonstrated enthusiasm, perseverance, and sportsmanship as they participated in the 50 m Run, Softball Throw, Running Long Jump, and Standing Long Jump. We are so proud of the effort and positive attitudes they showed throughout the day.

Congratulations to our Grade 5/6 soccer teams who competed at the Rainbow Board Meet! ⚽️

Both teams played with determination, heart, and incredible teamwork, never giving up throughout the tournament. We are especially proud of our competitive team for capturing the silver medal in the finals! 🥈

Thank you to all of our players, coaches, and supporters for two amazing days filled with fun, sportsmanship, teamwork, and outstanding school spirit. 💛💚🖤

Congratulations to Airah in Mme Lalonde’s class on an incredible achievement!

During our school’s Public Speaking Contest, Airah won First Place in the Primary Division with her heartfelt and entertaining speech about her brother, Carson. Her presentation was beautifully written, humorous, and full of life and excitement, truly capturing the audience’s attention.

Airah went on to compete at the Branch, Zone, District, and Area levels, earning FIRST PLACE at each competition before becoming the Provincial Runner-Up!!!

At the awards ceremony, it was shared that there are nearly 400 Royal Canadian Legion branches across Ontario. Out of all those branches, only four students advanced all the way to the provincial level! An extraordinary accomplishment that makes her achievement even more remarkable.

We are unbelievably proud of you, Airah!

☕📖 Poetry Café 2026 📖☕

On Thursday, May 14th, our school library was transformed into a wonderful Poetry Café where creativity and confidence took centre stage!

The winning poets from Grades 1 to 6 proudly shared their incredible poems with staff, peers, and our four special judges, including two English judges and two French judges. We were so impressed by the talent, imagination, and expression shown by all of our students.

A huge thank you to everyone who entered a poem this year. Your hard work and creativity made this event truly special. Congratulations to all of our winners for their outstanding performances and beautiful writing! 🌟👏

What a fantastic celebration of student voice and creativity.
