Thank you for coming to the school on Tuesday to support the Photography Exhibition. The grade 8 students including Bella, Maddie, Morganna, Teighan, Katie, Emily, Scott, Christian, Cam, Georgia, Sammy and David should be very proud of the work they did to put on such a great show. Congratulations to all of our budding photographers in Mr. Blais' class, Mrs. Taylor's class and the two grade 8 classes. A special congratulations goes to the top six photographers in grade 8; Bella, Cam, Lucas, Maddie, Morganna and Christian. The grade 5-8 students and adults voted on these six for their favourite photo. Congratulations to the top three students including Lucas (waterfall), Cam (bird on beach) and Bella (flower); their photos will be displayed at the Contact Exhibition at the AGO from May 14th - May30th.
