Back to School!






We hope everyone had a restful Spring Break as we head into the last stretch of this school year!

Its warming up outside so remember to bring water bottles to school to stay hydrated - and kids - remember to take them home at the end of the day.....Lost & Found is always full of water bottles (and jackets...)

Don't forget - open house and Waffle Love Truck at school tomorrow.....bring your friends to tour the school and enjoy a rather delicious waffle.


Have a great week - rather a short week with a half day on Friday.

Bench The Bag









STUCO are busy running the Bench the Bag campaign and lots of plastics are being bought in to be recycled.

Some of you have asked at local supermarkets if you can take the bags from their recycling bins, some are told no and some are allowed - so its always worth an ask while you are there!


Remember, this ends at the end of March so please keep sending in those grocery bags and other qualifying plastics.


Thank you!
