December 06, 2024 - News and Upcoming Events
Dear Families,
Last week, I thoroughly enjoyed a visit to Regina Street Alternative School. I was so inspired by the patience and poise of the student ambassadors who walked me through the site to engage with both students and staff.
I also had the pleasure of visiting Briargreen Public School this week. It was wonderful to see the students and staff so committed to helping those in need in our society through food and clothing drives that include FAMSAC and Kids Helping Kids... all in the spirit of the season!
