Happy Friday Bayside!
We had a fantastic turn-out for our Volunteer Tea today. It was wonderful to be able to show our appreciation with some treats, decorations, and music. Thank you to Ms. McCune for her leadership in organizing the tea and for the lovely performances by the children. Also, a special shout-out to Analog coffee for their generous donation of coffee and all the fixings:) We know that we have many parent volunteers who were unable to attend because they were busy with grade 1 and Kindergarten field trips. We hope you know we appreciate you!
