On Thursday, our school community came together for our Spring Concert! We are so proud of all of our students for their outstanding performances. Their hard work and enthusiasm shone brightly on stage, making it a memorable afternoon!

After the concert, Heritage Calabria proudly presented the $1,000 Sal Ritacca Bursary to one of our deserving families! This bursary was established in honour of our late co-founder, Sal Ritacca, whose vision and dedication continue to inspire our community. The bursary celebrates and supports the ongoing mission of keeping the Italian language and culture alive for future generations!

We then celebrated the end of another wonderful school year with our annual picnic! Families enjoyed delicious burgers and pizza from Chef Luciano Schipano, face painting, and, of course, ice cream!!!

A huge thank you to our incredible staff for organizing such a fantastic event and for making this school year so special for our students and families. Wishing everyone a happy, safe, and relaxing summer!☀️🌸
