Important Dates and Updates
1) On Thursday, a 5th Kindergarten class was created. We moved 6 students to the new class and therefore we now have 27 students in our class. We wish those 6 students all the best in their new class. Mme Noftall, our ECE, worked for 2 days in the new classroom to ease the transition. She will be back with us on Monday. N.B. If you've subscribed to our blog and your child is no longer in our class, please feel free to unsubscribe.
