We were thrilled to welcome financial planners into our school to give a presentation on future investing, mortgage information, and general financial planning. They were impressed with the respect, genuine interest, and depth of the questions posed by the students.

The students planned a home baking and decorating competition for one of their Valentines Day activities. These lovely "flowers" earned first place. It's almost hard to believe that they are actually cupcakes!

This year we sent two students to the 2019 Regional Science Fair to represent our school. Cohen and his project "Tonneau or Not Tonneau: Tonneau Cover Aerodynamics" earned a gold medal. Haley and her project "Living With Oil", earned several awards, including an opportunity to take her experiment to nationals in Fredericton, New Brunswick. Congratulations to both of them!
