Diversity Day!

Thank you for your support in making our Diversity Day a fun one! We heard two adult speakers and two exchange students from Germany. We then shared a fantastic feast together. It was a great day! A big thank you to the many parents who came and helped set-up, warm food, serve food, and clean up our classrooms. You are much appreciated!

Reminder: There is no school for students next week. Enjoy the break and have a Happy Thanksgiving! :)
