Dear Wildcat Families,
Last week was very busy and full of memorable, community-building events. We cheered on our Canadian Olympic athletes with a couple of hockey watch parties in the gym. We also celebrated the 100th day of school and Valentine’s Day, and took part in Jump Rope for Heart skipping stations in the gym.
Our Primary and Intermediate classes are paired as Buddy Classes and spend time together doing different activities. On Friday, some classes visited the forest area and hearts started to appear everywhere – please enjoy the video! https://youtu.be/HxVAlP_IO90
This Monday we celebrate the strong, caring connections that make our school community so special. Family is at the heart of what we do, and we are grateful for your continued support of your child’s learning. We hope you enjoy time together, making memories and celebrating what makes your family unique. Happy Family Day!
