Bonjour à tous.
Congraulations to our 7 students who competed in the Division Swimming today. 2 students will move on to the Regional Swimming. A great effort from all 7 students.
We are accepting donations of Easter items for our hampers for the Easter Raffle. If you can donate that would be great.
As part of grades 1 and 2 upcoming unit on
