Members of our Leadership Day Communications Team have been busy contacting local businesses for price quotes on items for Farm and Field Day 2024. Looking forward to our big day!!




Today in Lift, students worked diligently on their homework and then had a DINO-MITE time completing dinosaur crafts. Students in K-1 made T-Rex hand puppets and learnt about various dinosaurs, while students in 2-6 grades painted their own dinosaur figure.











After School Reminders
⚠️ Designated pick up times are at 4:00pm (after academic support) and 5:00pm (after enrichment activities).
⚠️ These times help reduce interruptions and allow students to fully participate in activities.
⚠️ Last minutes changes are hard to accommodate- if your child is changing from a bus to a pick up please let us know as soon as possible.
