SCHOOL NEWSK-3 Tim Horton’s TripOn Friday May 24, the K-1 class participated in a field trip to Tim Hortons. Over the past month, the class have been working hard on the development of a Tim Horton's center within the classroom. This dramatic play center has provided students with rich opportunities in drama, writing, and financial literacy. We want to send a very special thank you to Richie and Janice of Tim Hortons Mattawa for allowing us to visit and tour their facility.

K-3 Class Learns About Dental HygieneThe K-1 class had a very special visitor from Rex the Dental Dino. Rex joined our class to talk about the importance of brushing and flossing our teeth. After our demonstration, each student was given a brand new toothbrush, floss, and timers to help make oral hygiene fun at home! Thank you to the Nipissing-Parry Sound District Health Unit for letting us borrow Rex for the day!
