We continue to utilize Fridays to give students extra help and close learning gaps. Our paraprofessionals have done an incredible job helping students in Zoom sessions as well as in person! Pictured is Mrs. Mey reviewing prime factorization with a group of students.

Students play some socially distanced hockey. With several pucks going, students have lots of chances to hone their hand eye coordination and have a lot of fun. We'll let the NHL know coaches Bond and Thorpe have found a better way to play hockey! :)
