Today Parent Council made lunch for the staff to say thank you for all of the work they do throughout the year. We had a great turnout and everyone left with smiles on their faces. Dear Staff Thank you for guiding our young ones as they grow and express and pursue. We appreciate you and all of the work you put into helping our children to see the possibilities and reach for the stars.... Miigwetch!

We started a baseball team! The highlight was definitely the playoff tournament at Rogers Center! Our season ended with 1 win, 2 ties and 4 losses and a great experience playing on a professional field! Chi Miigwetch to Jays Care for this amazing opportunity and to Ryan from Toronto Council Fire for supporting our new team! Go Kapapamahchakwew school!

We are all having a great time. Maybe you should come join us.
