What A Great WeekWhat an amazing week we had at "The Rock!" We had our final C.O.D.E. Program this week with Officer Diane Brand. Our Grade 4 students participated in a poster contest and our award winners were announced. Congratulations to the following students Nathan Arndt (Mr. Donaldson) Cooper Griffin absent (Miss Fucillo) and Flynn Morchauser (Mrs. Binns) as their posters were selected as the top winner from each classroom.
Our Wildcats and staff also celebrated World Down Syndrome Day as our Grade 1 Team led by our friend Zoey paraded around the building and then held a dance party celebration in the cafeteria. Both staff and students continued to do wonderful things in the classrooms as well and have been working very hard!

Barbara Phillips a consultant from Solution Tree spent the day with staff as we focused on building a collective capacity for all adults and as we build upon the structures that support high levels of student achievement for all our WILDCATS!
