Grandparents Day
We look forward to opening up our classrooms to grandparents this Friday morning from 9:10am to 10am. Grandparents are invited to go straight to their grandchild's classroom where they will be invited to be a part of the lesson/activity.
At the conclusion of the session at 9:45am, Grandparents are invited to join the leadership team for a morning tea in the Hall. There will also be an opportunity to purchase items from a small gift store that will be run by our Grade 6 students.
