From the Administration
Today was a great day! The rain held off and everything went smoothly. The grade 8 students ran a marvelous colour war this morning, patterning it on The Amazing Race. It was great to see the way all the students and teachers threw themselves into the fun. It was also great to see our grade 8 students taking such a successful leadership role with their younger peers. We've seen them develop remarkable maturity, and are very proud of how well they did.
The fun continued with the Talent Show, where we got to see a lot of singing, dancing and piano playing. Every year, we are amazed at the depth of talent our students show, and delighted with their willingness to go on stage in front of so many students and parents and strut their stuff.
Let's hope the rain continues to hold off and everyone enjoys a well-deserved long weekend.
Shabbat shalom,

Lag Ba'Omer Fun

Scientists in Grades 2 and 4

The Scientist in School came to grades 2 and 4 this week. In grade 2, they learned about air and water. Above, Omer and Lauren, learn that air can be very strong, but that it is harder to lift a rock than a pom-pom. In grade 4, they got to learn about rocks and minerals.
