Good afternoon, Raven Families,
I hope that everyone has a wonderful weekend, taking advantage of the beautiful, summer-like weather. Embracing the sun, our students (coincidentally, alongside Maple Ridge School), participated in our first fire drill of the year. It is hard to believe that nearly 700 students can be so quiet and focused!
A heartfelt thank you to all the parents who joined us for our first School Council meeting of the year, whether in person or online. Your support and involvement mean so much. (Don’t forget—next month is the AGM, and we hope to see many of you there!) Moreover, a huge thank you the RTA families and extended families who contributed to the spring fundraising initiative! The school received $8,613.25 to purchase brand new student desks and chairs. We cannot wait to see the positive difference this will make for our students and their learning spaces.
