It was wonderful to see so many students with their families at Thursday night's Art Show. I'm sure you'll agree the art was amazing. See below for pictures.

Ipad Week is on Monday, May 22nd. Teachers will be collecting Ipads and chargers during this week. Ipads will no longer go home. If your child is out of school this week please be sure to send it in as soon as possible.

This week, students will attend a puppet show courtesy of our Parent Council. The Pumpernickel Puppets will present Bugsy and Friends.
