The walk will be followed by drumming/dancing, Indigenous community speakers, artisan booths, and food sales.

Google Classrooms

Classroom teachers have set up their Google classrooms for the year. This space will be used as both a teaching and communication tool with students and as a way to inform families about programming in the classroom. Please be sure to have your child show you how to log in to the classroom. Teachers of younger students will communicate to families regarding log in details.
