Thank you to all the grade 6 students for your excellent effort and concentration during EQAO Testing.  A special thanks to Mrs. Pagliario for organizing the healthy snack program for all of the grade 3 and 6 students during each of the EQAO sessions.  I know the students really appreciated the yummy snacks.
