Our school had the privilege of seeing the Med Hatters perform live! These boys had a dream of creating a band and hosting a concert, and with the help of Miss Ehalt, it became a reality. They rock! 🎶🤩

We have our lost and found items out, so please come during the day to take a look and see if any of it belongs to your child. It will be out until June 24th at noon, so make sure to retrieve what’s yours before it’s too late. Thank you for helping us keep things organized. 👕👟

This week, our Grade 3 students welcomed three special guests from our community: police officers, firefighters, and paramedics. They learned about the important work these everyday heroes do to keep our community safe and healthy. The students also had the opportunity to present them with a small gift of appreciation, purchased with the money they raised from their lemonade stand. Thank you to our community helpers for all that you do! 🚒🚓🚑

Cette semaine, nos élèves de 3e année ont reçu trois groupes d’invités spéciaux de notre communauté : des policiers, des pompiers et des ambulanciers paramédicaux. Ils ont découvert le rôle important que jouent ces héros pour assurer la sécurité et le bien-être de notre communauté. Les élèves ont également eu l’occasion de leur présenter un petit cadeau de remerciement, acheté grâce aux fonds recueillis lors de leur stade de limonade. Merci à tous nos intervenants d’urgence pour tout ce que vous faites! 🚒🚓🚑
