A huge thank you to Heidi Lewis and Rachel Thompson for giving their time over the past few weeks to do this very special leaving treasure - unique to Weber !
I would like to take this opportunity to farewell those families who are leaving Weber School this year. A huge thank you for all that you have done for our students and the school community. You are all going to be missed and we wish all the best.
