Last Day Before Spring Break

Today we are going to the SunGro Centre to watch a Staff/Student game. Our whole school will be walking over to go and watch. The first game will be Ringette and then we will watch figure skaters from our school. The last game we will watch will be hockey. What a great time we will have. We really enjoy going to the rink!!!

Here is a picture of us at school skating on Tuesday!
