Grade 5 & 6 Outdoor School Adventure
Our Grade 5 and 6 students had an incredible time at Outdoor School this week at YMCA Camp Chief Hector! From team-building activities to outdoor adventures, it was a memorable experience full of learning, connection, and fun.
A huge thank you goes out to our amazing teachers - Ms. Moore, Ms. Keys, Ms. Hildenbrand, and Ms. Drever - for all the care and energy they put into making this trip possible. We also want to recognize Mr. K, our assistant principal, and Mr. Sager, our French teacher, for joining the group and supporting students throughout the experience.
We’re also very thankful to our families for their trust and support in allowing us to take students away from home for a few nights. Your confidence means a great deal to us. We’re fortunate to have such a committed team making these meaningful experiences possible for our students.

Just a reminder that Monday, April 7 is Spring Individual and Classroom Picture Day with Lifetouch. In general, younger students will have their photos taken in the morning, with older students scheduled for the afternoon. Please make sure your child comes to school ready for their photo!
