Best news of all? No more homework!!!
This week, on Wednesday, the 3rd of June, regular Kindergarten students will stay home and let the September Kindergarten students get a taste of what school is like.
Thursday morning we will have a program put on by the Saint John String Quartet.
Thursday night we will have our Art show in the cafeteria. Please come and experience the painting and drawing prowess of our K-5 students.
