Good afternoon everyone!

I hope you had a great night!

Today was our annual Oral Presentation Day. I would like to thank the grade 4’s for hanging in. I was a very long day for them, so thank you for you patience.

Congratulations to David, Manisha, and Jayden. You worked very hard to earn your spot up there. All three of you did an amazing job and we are all so proud of you. You all showed the risk-taker attribute today, something that can be very difficult.

David - Ford GT

Jayden - Why music is good for you

Manisha - The importance of education

Congratulations to Jayden for placing second. Way to go kiddo!!

The grade 4 finalists!! Well-done!
