Dear Thorncliffe Families,
We hope everyone had a restful and fun Spring Break!
Upcoming this week we are thrilled to welcome Quest Theatre to do Drama day with all of our classes on Monday and Tuesday. Each class from K-6 will receive one session to learn about resilience and strategies for self-regulation through drama play. Thank you to our generous school council for providing this opportunity for students.
Tomorrow is the last day to complete the school planning engagement survey. If you have not yet had the opportunity to complete this survey, please use the link below to contribute your voice and opinions to inform our school planning work for the 2025-26 school year. Thank you!
Have a beautiful week!
Calleigh and Nadine
