Apologies for the late post! I have been having 'tech issues' while trying to upload our halloween pictures, which was corrupting my posts! Stay tuned for the pictures :)
A big thank you to everyone who came, helped and dropped off items at the Halloween party. The students (and I) had so much fun! Thank you!
