Dear Buchanan Families
Thank you to all the families who joined us last night for our school celebration of learning and spring concert. We hope you enjoyed sharing the joy of learning with your children.
It’s hard to believe that next week we will begin the final month of the school year!
June will bring many joyful experiences, including swimming, art residencies, and field trips. Our Grade 6 students will be busy writing their provincial achievement tests while soaking up their last days of elementary school.
Time is going to fly by!
Wishing you a wonderful weekend in the sunshine.
Robin
Principal, Buchanan School
