SCHOOL COUNCIL
From the Principal’s Office –Du Bureau de la
Directrice:
It is hard to believe that the end of the school year is
almost upon us. I wish to thank everyone who participated in our ’Buy In’ day last month. We raised over
$800.00 for the Minden Flood Relief. Your generosity
is truly amazing. I would like to take this opportunity
to wish each and every one of you a very happy, safe
and restful summer. I look forward to working with all
of you next year.
At our last meeting we joined with the Stuart
Baker School Council for a joint meeting. The
meeting was very successful and many common themes were discussed. Together we decided to host a joint Open House on September 18th, 2013. Look for more information in
the fall newsletter.
