Hello Titans of Division 3. Have a GREAT Summer vacation. I miss you already! Make sure you READ over the break. I gave some of you a second copy of the class photo, and I'm wondering if someone would give one back. I have the signed folder part, but can't find the photo!

Hello all. I'm sorry about not posting until now, Sunday afternoon. I had to reset my password because I just couldn't get into this website. I'm not sure why.
Grade 7s, Playland is tomorrow. You should bring a disposable lunch, or money for food. The line-ups for food are terrible, it is quite expensive, and it is mostly junk food...just saying. Wear sunscreen, especially on your face. Grade 6s, you will be given special packages of work to do. Work together with the people you are placed with. Work hard. Next year, it is your turn! Grade 7s - bring shades, etc. for 'Hollywood' photo

On Sunday, this awesome group delivered 14 nutritious lunches to homeless people in Whalley, which is in north west Surrey.

I am a grade 6 teacher who has been teaching in the Surrey School District for 30+ years. I love to play golf and tennis, kayak, ski, walk, read, garden, knit and sew.
I believe in the value of life-long learning, and that learning should have purpose and be enjoyable.
