Dear families,
Celebration of Learning: Connection - to Learning, to Each Other, to Community
Staff and students are excited to welcome parents/guardians to our celebration of learning night on Thursday, May 23, 2024. Our theme this year is Connection, and it is an opportunity for all of us to come together as a community. Families will travel together to various stations within the school. Each station reflects the learning your child has been engaged in all year and is tied to our School Development Plan. You will explore and play games together related to Literacy, Mathematics, Indigenous ways of knowing and being, and Well-Being for learning.
Due to our building capacity limits we will have two separate sessions, one at 4:00 PM and one at 5:30 PM. Please RSVP using the form below to indicate which session your family will attend.
