Hello families,

School Assembly 

We had a wonderful full school assembly this week. We got to introduce all of our staff, sing O Canada, learned the signs for our Land Acknowledgement and watched our school Read aloud of the 'Curious Why.' Students will be working with their teachers to generate their own Curious Whys. As a staff we have been learning about how curiosity positively affects the learning brain. What are you curious about?
