THAT'S A WRAP!
What an amazing school year this has been! This group of students were blessed to experience cross-graded activities, field trips and whole school gatherings! Together we learned, we explored, we pushed ourselves, we celebrated and we created a safe haven that nurtured our minds and our hearts throughout this school year.
We thank our parents for putting their trust in us to take care of their little ones and guide them along the way. It is this amazing connection and unconditional partnership that has made this year such a success and we are so grateful for your support.
We wish our Grade Five students all the best as they leave our SKTA nest and move on to Middle School. Thank you for being our such responsible role models and the leaders of our school.
We hope all families get a chance to "re-set", to re-discover things that they have missed and to explore new adventures. Stay safe, stay healthy and stay connected to what brings you joy.
We will see you all in August!
