Dear Parents and Students,
We’ve had a short, but very busy week,with plenty to do, including Halloween/Dress up day on Tuesday. Thank you to all parents for your time and effort in helping your children with costumes, and also to those of you who were able to join us on the day. It is always a thrill for the children to share their experiences with family. It should be noted that the Grade 4 performance was entirely designed and arranged by the Grade 4 students. Well done, Grade 4, on an original and entertaining performance!
