On Tuesday, we welcomed Max Dean, an artist who Mrs. Hall and Mr. Blais worked with this year on a project involving many schools in the south-west Family of Schools. Both classes submitted a photo album to Mr. Dean's exhibition. The "FotoBug" took the albums on tour to different schools. The students had a great experience over the last few months. As many of you know, the end of the year brings staff changes. We will put all staff changes on the last blog of the year, but I did want you to know that Mrs. Seitz will be retiring at the end of the school year. Mrs. Seitz had a very successful career and she is to be congratulated for her commitment to her students and the community.
The grade 3 and 6 students finished writing EQAO this week, and after talking to them, it seems like most were confident they did the best they could; we are very proud of them for their efforts! Congratulations on a job well done!
P.S. I missed thanking Debbie Steggles and Susan O'Reilly who assisted with the Tomboo
game at Springfest!
