Welcome Back!!

I hope everyone had a fabulous March Break.  I'm sure getting up and ready this morning was a bit of a challenge, but we will slowly get back to routine this week.

Youth Rally

We had a great day at the Youth Rally yesterday.  Some things we learned where about how we can be leaders within our school and community.  We heard so many fabulous speakers and are inspired to lead the future.   

  Can't nobody...hold me down.

Rapper D.O.  taught us to:    LET IT GO...... LET IT GO, LET IT GO, LET IT GO!

Hmmm...maybe? :)

Tribal Vision Dance Troop

We were very fortunate to have the First Nations Tribal Vision Dance Troop perform for us today.  They told us the story of Turtle Island and about all the different traditions that the First Nations People have.  We got to see a variety of dances and listen to range of music.  Here are some pictures of what we got to experience.
