Thank you for making Pyjama Day a success! It was great to see so many kids turn up in their PJs and show their school spirit. We received nearly 10 boxes of food donations for the Greater Vancouver Food Bank and over $100 in cash donations. This will be a great help to families in need this holiday season. Thank you for your generosity! A special thanks to Ms. Webster and Ms. Solar for helping to organize our school spirit days.
