March will be a busy month with the Gala, Family Fun Night and the Field Days. We hope to see you all at the play, which will be held tonight and tomorrow night at 6:00 PM.

Check out the new art display cabinet opposite the office and the new location of our Pride of the Principal (POP) board.

The teachers enjoyed the Compassion Conference on Friday. They were able to learn not only new ideas but be inspired by our keynote speaker, Wilma Derksen. I hope that many of you were also able to attend Wilma’s parent talk this week.

It seemed that the rain this week purposely chose to come down at break and dismissal times. The rain never hampers our fun here at ISY though and in between the rain we had lots of creative fun outdoors this week (see pictures below).
