Dear Moms and Dads
Wow what special evenings and Saturday morning, we have had over the past week. The children were
‘Simply the Best!!’
 
The staff and I enjoyed every moment and we were really proud of all our delightful children. They sang so beautifully and excelled on stage.
 
We sure will miss all those who will be moving to Grade 1 next year, as well as all those going to new schools. We hope that you carry fond memories with you and remember that we would love you to come and visit us again soon.
