Dear Families, The time for the Pink Shirt Day assembly this Friday has been changed. Instead of starting at 9:30 AM, they will now be starting at 11:00 AM. Mr. Trinh and Mr. Lyon's Grade 4/5 classes are excited to host this event and appreciate everyone's flexibility around the time change. They needed some extra time for set-up and practice on Friday morning! We look forward to seeing everyone who can attend on Friday, February 21 at 11:00 AM. Kind regards, Christina Tuttle, Principal
