Remembrance Day
Mr. Zigar's students worked very hard over the last weeks to prepare the striking backdrop for the gym wall, the play and props for the assembly, and the script for the trench exhibits. During the day, each class was invited to the Collab Space to learn about trench warfare and the technologies used at that time. The student tour guides were knowledgeable, well spoken and responsible. All the students' learning was visible in their excitement and feelings of pride for a job well done. Many staff and parents commented that the timing and content of the assembly were just right for the children in the audience. Thank you Mr. Zigar for encouraging and supporting your students to take the lead!
Happy Diwali
Saturday we take time to remember and Sunday many people around the world will celebrate Diwali, a celebration of light and diversity. Our Seamless Day kids made diya candles to celebrate the festival of lights.
