Good day out there, South Nelson. 

Love these young singers who rocked some Great Big Sea with Mrs. Dimopoulos and me last week!  We also had some K's join us to sing with next year's K familes at our Welcome to Kindergarten! orientation on Wednesday.  

For the remaining few weeks, I will continue to include this listing of events and add new ones in.  Also expect a PAC update to come separately from this weekly update so that the PAC details stand out from the rest of our goings on, including the real need for help for our lunch program to continue on.
