Elmdale Early Years School

Principal's Message

I would like to thank all our Elmdale families for attending the student led conferences this past month. Your children were very excited to show off their learning to you. We look forward to having you visit again during our Family Celebration of Learning during the afternoon of February 23rd.

Our first Bucket Filling group had the opportunity to travel to Providence College to participate in a number of games in their gym. Their student athletes planned an excellent afternoon for our students. It was a very quiet ride home on the bus as all the students were exhausted.

I want to take a moment and wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. On behalf of our staff at Elmdale Early Years School, we thank you for your partnership and we look forward to partnering with you again in the new year!

Take care,

Mr. Colin Campbell
