Bulldog Bulletin April 6 to 10, 2026
From the Principal’s Desk: The council met with interested members of the community last night to discuss alternatives to a large play structure for our yard. Some ideas included pergolas, trees, armour stone sitting areas, an outdoor storage shed with play equipment, and outdoor musical equipment. Please reach out to the council at [email protected] if you have any questions.
Thanks to Ms. Greatrex’s class for updating our slideshow in the foyer. It is exciting to see all the learning and fun being had by all! Her class is also leading eco school activities every day. Ms. Moffitt and Mrs. Gunson are running our student leadership team this year, and we are looking forward to seeing all the initiatives they have planned.
I wish everyone a fantastic long weekend!
