​Good evening, everyone! I hope you all had a fantastic week. As mentioned last week, I was at the Canadian Association of Principals (CAP) conference in PEI and just returned to NB this afternoon. The highlight of my week was hearing Jody Carrington speak who is the author of 2 of my favourite professional books! I definitely left feeling inspired! The grade 5 students had a successful tour of Nashwaaksis Middle School on Wednesday and I hope some families were able to make it to the evening information session. Students in grades 3-5 had their last swimming session on Thursday, and Kiwanis and Home and School served a pancake breakfast that morning. Today, our students in grades 3-5 attended the Track and Field meet at NMS and I received lots of awesome pictures and saw many huge smiles. My husband was helping out and said a great time was had by all! I will let students know next week who will be attending Districts at the middle school on June 1.
