End of the Year Summer Fest

Last event of the year was a blast. New event that included bounce houses, a magic show, a photo booth, food trucks and great activity booths run by wonderful parent volunteers: face painting, candy fishing, outdoor games, henna art, rock painting, volcano experiment, friendship bracelets and bubble fun. All for the enjoyment of the school's community. 

Dance Night

After a week that the kids learned and practiced the dance moves, they got to dance all together and with their families, in a very energetic event!

Gaylen the instructor, brought his great vibes as always, and made it into a night to remember. 

Great big thank you to Gaylen and to our wonderful team of teachers that also supported the event throughout the week: Mr. Rataezyk, Mrs. Hodges, Mr. Robbe and Mrs. Como. And of course as always, to our fantastic volunteers who make all these events possible. 

Science Fair

The Science Fair proved to be a tremendous success! 
Hundreds of students had the chance to showcase their science projects to the school community. Each participant detailed their project, answered questions, and received recognition with a banner.
The experiments were captivating, innovative, and well presented.

We were honored to host a special guest, Pamela from Cascade Enrichment, who offered kids the opportunity to use microscopes and identify different materials like rice, oatmeal, baking soda, salt, and sugar. It was interesting and exciting!

A big thank you, to all the students whose participation contributed to the success of this remarkable event.

Movie Night - Superpets

Another enjoyable movie for the whole family. 
Families enjoyed Friday evening, with this fun movie, friends, popcorn and pizza. 

Game Night
More than 45 families came with their games and great spirits to enjoy a fun community evening. 

Kids and adults played board and card games, while enjoying free pizza and great vibes. 
Thank you to all the families who made it, despite the stormy weather. 
And a special thanks to our wonderful volunteers who made this event possible. 

Art Night
Families came together to craft beautiful string art on wooden boards, employing painting, nail hammering, and string stretching techniques. Despite using identical materials, each creation showcased individuality, mirroring the unique spirit of its young creator. 

Thank you to all that joined to make this event special. 
And thank you to Noga from Sit and Kit Studio for the fun and professional instruction of the evening.
