Strathcona Wilderness Center
Today both Kindergarten classes went of a field trip to The Strathcona Wilderness Center. The children learned about local wildlife, the changing seasons and spent the day discovering the wonders of mother nature. In the afternoon the children worked together to make fairy houses. It was a warm and wonderful day in Kindergarten.
A big thank you goes out to all the wonderful volunteers! The field trip was a great success due to your involvement.
I am unable to put up the group picture until I get the information regarding the FOIP form that you would have signed on your parent portal. If you did not sign this form I am unable to put a picture of your child on the website. The office will be giving me this information soon.
