Waterloo Casa trip to Engine 4
With a couple of our Junior High buddies, Waterloo Casa took a stroll down to Fire House #4 last week for a thrilling visit with the firefighters. What a blast!
Soccer
MA played 6 games at the North London Athletic fields last Tuesday, and the first four were tough games. We then played in the division semi-finals and won, taking us to the final. Unfortunately, we lost a tough game in the final 1-0. Thanks to all who came out to play, it was a great day to be outside and play soccer!!
UE 2 Phasing In
On Friday, during Phasing In, UE2 painted friendship rocks and wrote a virtue on it. At the end of the day the rocks went into the bucket and they chose one to take home.

It’s been a while, hasn’t it? The Junior High students were pumped to welcome their parents into the Junior High learning environments last Wednesday.
