Dear Thorncliffe Families, 

Thank you so much to the families that were able to join us for our grade 5/6 Celebration of learning.  The staff and students work very hard to prepare for these events and felt so proud to share their learning with you.   Thank you to Mr. Sandberg, Mr. K, and Ms. Weir for organizing the beautiful sharing of student learning.

Over the next few weeks, we understand that there are many fun and exciting evening and weekend events with the holiday season approaching.  Where possible, remaining in routine with bed time and sending students with healthy lunch and snack keeps us on track until the holiday break! 

Have a wonderful rest of your Sunday! 

Warm Regards, 

Calleigh and Nadine
