Back… by popular demand….<\/p>\n
Well, actually this is the first time we have done something like this in Division 3. \u00a0Most Fridays between now and the end of the school year, grade six students will be participating in a shopping and cooking program to support one of our classmates in his learning goals. \u00a0We all get to enjoy the fruits of their labours however! \u00a0This past Friday we enjoyed some “Easy Berry Ice-Cream”, although as Chef Natasha mentioned, it was more like a mousse than real ice-cream. \u00a0Very tasty nonetheless, and many thanks to our Chefs Maggie, Rakiia, Jerry and Natasha for a sweet treat! \u00a0Our next week’s chefs, Iva, Jerry and Solara, have a tough act to follow. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
