Our After School Club ended the year with our annual walk to Moe's! It has been a fun-filled school year filled with laughter, creativity and peculiar snack combinations (who knew Goldfish dipped in yogurt would be a thing?!)

We look forward to starting this program again in the fall, keep an eye out!

Good luck to our friends who are moving on to Grade 7 after 2-3 years in our program - you will be missed!
