Have a Good Weekend

Basketball practice is over and the clouds are getting thicker...it's time to head home for the weekend.

Thank you to the families for your participation in Literacy Week.  It was very successful and I hope it is a positive step in our students enjoying to read more.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Grade 4/5 Basketball

We had a Grade 4/5 Basketball Clinic after school today, which went really well. Mr. Karl Bush helped coach and it made for a lot of feedback for our students.  They are eager to learn and are developing very well.

The Grade4/5 Boys' Team will get a  few opportunities  to play  some games before the District Tournament , which is after  the Spring Break.  I have posted the schedule on the Basketball link on the website.  We may have a few additional games-- I will keep the students and parents posted as I get more information about this.

I trust that everyone will have a good evening.

Until tomorrow.
