We look forward to welcoming everyone back to school on Monday, refreshed and ready for another great week of learning!

Staff Appreciation Lunch

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to our School Council and all of the families who contributed to the Staff Appreciation Lunch. The delicious meal, thoughtful treats, and kind gestures were truly appreciated by everyone.

Your generosity and support made our staff feel valued and cared for. We are grateful to be part of such a wonderful school community and appreciate all that you do to support our students and staff throughout the year.

Thank you for making us feel so special!
