Good day out there, South Nelson. 

I can't resist sharing a favourite image from my son and me from the past week.  It hasn't always been easy to be an Oilers' fan over the past few decades and I'm sure you Canucks' fans can relate.  We also listenend to Mark Messier's autobiography to and from Vancouver last weekend, called 'No One Wins Alone'.  What a great title and testiment to the amount of team work, resilience, and care for each other that goes into achieving anything important!

Details to the end of the year as we currently know them.  It has been fun to be able to plan more events and adventures at this time, which also makes for a very full school calendar.  Please be sure to also watch out for details from classroom teachers along with field trip consent forms.
