PTO's FAMILY READING NIGHT
Our first Family Reading Night was a hit! The event was well attended, informative, and lots of fun for all. Special thanks to Ms. Alfreda Moore and her wonderful crew of PTO volunteers, staff members who came out to give their support, and to special guests Ms. Belinda Manning and Ms. Karen Johnson. Staff members are encouraged to reach out to our PTO- we're all in this together. :)
MORNING DROP-OFF
We are exploring the possibility of creating a drop-off lane which would extend from Leeds Ave through the back of the building and back out to the street to alleviate the morning traffic. To that end, there might be workers on the grounds in the coming weeks surveying the area.

Get your creative juices flowing, staff! Who's going to give Ms. Khullar a run for her money this year?
