It was the perfect day for a very enthusiastic group of volunteer parents and staff to tackle a clean-up on one of our favourite play spaces, Ceclia Cove Park...better known as the 'Checkerboard". Ably led by parent Jennifer Jakobsen, the team spent three hours pruning, sweeping, digging, raking and slashing. A great team effort!
We hope you will be able to attend the upcoming Parent Orientation workshop at the school on Tuesday the 18th from 6-8 pm. We will start in the gym with a brief presentation and then move into your classrooms for an opportunity to learn more about the Montessori program, hear what the plans are for the year and ask any questions you have. Our Hospitality Committee always has great treats, too!
