Hello Everyone,

What a crazy last week, a SNOW DAY! I am still in shock about that.

We also had an amazing performer come and show our class some traditional First Peoples’ dancing. Everyone tried their best and were a respectful audience member. It left me feeling very proud to be the teacher for Division 20.
