Learning Through Play

We are kindergarten students who learn through play. Play is our favourite way of learning.

Just a friendly reminder about the parking area along Amand Drive (Kindergarten outdoor area). Please do not park in the bus area or by the round about. Also it is a 30 km zone and no U-turns.
We need to keep our students safe while arriving and departing from school!

What makes you unique? Turning inwards and thinking about how great it is for everyone in class to be different. These fish represent each of us… we collected rocks, cleaned them and painted them. We are proud of our work! @jmewrdsb
