Dear Parents,
If you have unbreakable baking trays that you can send with your child tomorrow, it would be greatly appreciated.

Dear Parents,
Thank you to those who were able to join us for our in-class field trip! The Grade 2’s learned about the adventure of Superhero Settlers. The Ukrainians who settled on the prairies had several super powers to help them defeat the challenges they were faced with in Saskatchewan. Geography, culture, goods and services were explored in this superhero adventure.
February will be a busy month!
