Tomorrow (Friday) is a PA day so there is no school for students.  Staff will be spending the day working on report cards.  Also, tomorrow our New Impressions choir will be singing O’Canada at the Rangers game.  Go Bears and Go Rangers!

On February 14th our Me to We team is holding another bake sale.  Last year’s bake sale was such a success we’re trying it again!  Parents are able to order (and pay for) baked goods (by the dozen only) through School-Day as well as indicate if they are interested in baking for this event.  Please watch for more information coming home soon.
