A big thank you to our neighbor and local business owner. Serge helped moved our outdoor winter shelter to our school. Serge is all about supporting our community and the children who live here.

Multiplication patterns for the 2 and 4 times tables. Beautiful wheels created by a parent volunteer at Polaris. Grade 3-4 had fun investigating the different shapes the times tables formed. They are looking forward to pattern spotting with other times tables. Community effort to create engaging Math opportunities.
