🌟 Classroom Connections in 6D! 🌟
Last Friday, 6D had the privilege of welcoming Ms. Blanco into their classroom. As one of our amazing school custodians, Ms. Blanco usually works behind the scenes—but this visit flipped the script!
She took time to introduce herself, answer thoughtful questions, and build genuine connections with the students. 💬🤝
Bonus takeaway: 6D gained a new appreciation for the work custodians do—and a better understanding of how small actions (like cleaning up after ourselves in the classroom!) can make a big impact. 🧹💙

🌱 Growing with Purpose! 🐾
Some of our amazing Grade 5 & 6 students have been busy planting and growing catnip — and it’s all for a great cause! 🌿
As part of a library project focused on giving back to the community, the students are nurturing these plants with care and love. Once the catnip is fully grown, it will be donated to our local SPCA to bring a little extra joy to the cats waiting for their forever homes. 💚🐱
We’re so proud of their hard work and compassion in action!
