Kudos - singing the praises of our staff :)
Kudos to Gr. 5 for learning SeeSaw and to Brooke for helping them to learn how to use a powerful, free digital tool!
Many thanks to the IPT leaders - Terri, Brenda, Nancy L., Jan, Kathy, Deb G., and Jenny M. for helping us to dig through the IPT data so we can adjust our learning plans to meet the needs of our society!
Kudos to Brooke and Jan for collaboratively presenting Core Clicks to Gr. 2 and Kg during collaboration. Teamwork rocks!
Our highest compliments to Gina and Robin for the outstanding Holiday Program. Your elves Megan, Jen, Kim, Karin, and Karen did an outstanding job as well. The students were adorable and the parents/grandparents/families loved Jingle Bell rocking!

Teamwork made this way more fun!
Wow - that icing tastes amazing!
STEM Site
Kudos to Kindergarten for exploring during collaboration and discovering this awesome STEM site. On this site, they found learning plans that supported their content instruction and were able to begin to answer one of the most important questions that should be answered during collaboration: How will we know they learned it?
Market Day fun!
Market Day draws a big crowd.
How much is that?
