Reminders:

It is fun day tomorrow at Brooksbank, and the theme is Super Heroes. All intermediate students have been placed in Colour groups and within that group on a numbered team. Here's the list:


Students should dress for the weather (check it before leaving the house in the morning), and bring a good lunch and snack as they will be active.

We had a great field trip today to experience the Vancouver's "Working Waterfront" from aboard the M.V. Harbour Princess. Thanks to the many parents who made it possible by driving us to and from the waterfront. Much appreciated!!
Our charter boat for the day: The "Harbour Princess"

Lots of room ... very comfortable on board.

A lovely day for a field trip!


So nice to see Vancouver's working port facilities from the water!
