Turbo Chargers

Our December Turbo Charger assembly was supercharged. The assembly kicked off with Mrs. Doram’s grade 6 class reciting some original winter poems. Helen Moore, representing our sponsor, G.H. Moore Holding was on hand to present the Turbo - Charger awards and race a car in the Santa 500 cardboard car race. She had a little trouble on the corners but was still able to finish the 3 lap NASCAR race.

  • As a culmination of their unit on Greece the grade 6 held a Greek day celebration. Many of the students dressed in traditional Greek “chitons” and enjoyed some wonderful food of Greece.
  • Our annual Turkey Dinner hosted by our School Council was a big hit and enjoyed by all students and staff. It was great to see so many parent volunteers come to the school to help with this festive event. Thank you to all.
  • Our grade 3-6 classes performed “We are the World” at the Community Carol festival. Thanks you Ms. Barnes for making this singing magic happen. It was wonderful.
  • Our Christmas concert was a packed for the evening performance and it was a show stopper. Thanks go to our German school teachers for the performance put on by their students. High fives to Kindergarten for their performance. Special kudos go out to Ms. Barnes and Mrs. Dueck for the musical play. It was a great show thanks to your efforts.
  • Early Learning also had their mini-concert and it was a lot of fun watching the little ones perform for their families. Thanks Mrs. Roll and her team.
