First Week, we did it!

Congratulations Everyone!
After the excitement of our first day students and staff quickly settled into the regular school routines as if we had been here for years.  Although we experienced a very humid and warm September our staff conducted themselves professionally, allowing for extra water breaks and shortened recesses. Classroom resources have started to arrive, including additional technology for all classes. Our musical instruments were unloaded, much to the enthusiasm of our students and Mr. Hunt. Mrs. Denney-Falsetta has been working tirelessly to get our Learning Commons up and stocked and Mrs. Diament is organizing our Literacy resources so that they can be used by all our students and staff. Mr. Pereira has even gotten out first sports team up and running with the Cross Country Team practising already! There is a great deal happening each day and I am very proud of how quickly all staff have come together to provide the best learning experience for all our students.
