Dear Thorncliffe Families, 

Over the past week we had an amazing time celebrating the season and heading into the break with fun and engaging learning.  From designing and building gingerbread houses, Winter community Crooning, the amazing Switcheroo tasks, and creating gnome characters with our buddies, we had a wonderful week! 

We would like to extend a special thanks to our school council for providing the entire school with a pizza lunch on Friday.  The pizza was delicious!   

We would like to wish our school community a very restful, fun, and beautiful Winter Break.   

Warm Regards, 

Calleigh and Nadine
