WE DID IT!
What an exciting day! Thank you to all the wonderful staff and community volunteers that came to help with our Build Day. That was a huge pile of pea gravel and you showed that many hands, working together can get the job done.
It was great to make a connection with our community partners the Northeast London Community Engagement Committee. Thank you for your volunteers.
A huge thank you to the staff from London Children's Connection - School Age Program for providing wonderful activities for the children.

Thank you to Adam Roberts from Roberts Family Painting for giving our old primary equipment a face lift with a fresh paint job.
Thank you to Ryan and Ian Clark of Digital Memories & DJ Services for keeping us all movin' and grovin' with great tunes.
Our students are used to seeing moms help around the school, but what was so special about today was seeing all the dads that came to help. From building to digging to letting us dirty up your trucks with gravel, your hearts were the biggest muscle used today as you made a difference. Thank you!
And most importantly, thank you to our Home and School Executive: Mrs. Noyes, Mrs. Zwicker, Mrs. Dobie, Mrs. Shill and Mrs. Wickens along with their loyal volunteers Mrs. Climenhaga, Mrs. Huisman, Mrs. Ferguson, Mrs. Woodall and Mrs. Henry. Without you and your dedication, this project would not have happened! When moms come together with a goal, you make an unstoppable force.
Thanks for making it happen!

We are so excited to see the design of playground equipment from Belaire that we are fundraising for. The students had a chance to vote on the elements they wanted as part of the equipment. The slide was the most important part to the kids.

Ryan and Ian Clark of Digital Memories & DJ Services will help keep us movin' and grovin' on our Playground Build day. Thank you for donating your services to our celebration day!
