Well, we had a great start to 2017 with the students settling quite nicely into our classroom routines. Students spent some time sharing stories from their Winter Break and getting re-aquainted with each other. We had a great week.
A very big thank you to all the parents and students who came out to help with the tree chipping fundraiser on Saturday. Special thanks to the Trevor Coey of Bartlett Tree Experts, for bringing out his equipment to make the fundraiser a success. Also, thank you to Julie Taggart and Torin Coey who represented Division 12 and braved the cold for hours.
