Week 4

It took 4 weeks but if finally feels like we're settling in!  Thanks to families and students for showing great understanding and patience with our reorganization this past week; our class is now a 4/5 split with 16 grade 4s and 6 grade 5s. 

Some info as we move ahead:

Orange Tshirt
September 30th is Orange Shirt day; don't forget to wear orange to show solidarity for residential school survivors

Terry Fox Run
