Last week our middle school classes were privileged to attend three days of outdoor adventuring. Our Grade 6s visited Camp Summit, our Grade 7s went rafting in Squamish, and our Grade 8s did some sailing at Jericho Beach in Vancouver. For their short reflections on these adventures, let’s go to Miss Tang in Grade 6, Miss Brandt in Grade 7, and Mrs. Prinsloo in Grade 8.
Some really great thoughts there from Miss Brandt about the meaning and significance of truth and reconciliation. We know we’ve got a lot more to do, but we’re learning.
Mary: We’d also like to give a couple of quick shoutouts to some parent listeners! We’ve received some kind encouragement from parents and that is super encouraging. (Connie and Jason Leong, Tina Chiao)
Special giveaway to listeners who give us feedback in the coming weeks
