Happy spring!

This week we were honoured to have Joan Exley from CBAL come in to our school to work with the parents of our gr 1/2 students. Joan provided kits and games to help young readers gain a passion for reading. After a short lesson for the parents, students joined Mom and Dad for reading, games, and activities. Thank you, Joan!
