Dear Students:

Congratulations to the Grade 8 students for making it to your last week of classes in Middle School. Enjoy the final activities
you have planned this week and next.

This is the last week of after-school activities. So take advantage of the opportunity to work hard in these last practices.

Students are also reminded to return all check-out materials this week.

A big THANK YOU to all students who brought in rice during the CCV rice drive. Well done to the Homebases of Ms.

Enjoy the week!
