Thank you from Middle Learning Community

At our meeting on Tuesday we received some beautiful cards and a bound book from our Middle Learning Community.

We as a community group did not expect to receive these and are thankful for the kind words shared by the students

We received this note from them:-

“Dear Community Group,

As a part of the Middle Learning Communities Inquiry learning, we researched all the amazing things you do for our school.

Please accept this as a sign of our appreciation.

Thanks MLC”
