St. Michaels Visit

On Thursday morning, we visited Saint Michaels with Miss Gatenby’s grade 1s for our 1st time this year & sang for the seniors.
I’m so proud of how everyone performed and were so respectful in a much different environment than you’re used to. Way to go grade 2s & 3s! 
After entertaining, we were all spoiled with snacks and brought goodie bags back with us to school!
