I wanted to take a moment to say how very proud I am of all of my Grade 4 students! They all did an unbelievably, amazing job and the ENTIRE school loved their performance! A special thank you to every parent as well, for working so hard to ensure that your child/children rehearsed their lines for the skit and for the song. I am currently working on uploading a link for you guys to see and be proud as well! 🙂
