Happy Monday TOSH Parents and Guardians!
I just wanted to share with parents/guardians how PROUD I am of our students who attended the Christmas Dance Saturday evening. We had ZERO discipline issues that night (YAY!) and everyone looked so wonderful all "spiffed up"! At one point in my supervision duty, I witnessed some of our Grade 12 students encouraging the Grade 10's to get out onto the dance floor. We have a wonderful school community, and our students warm my heart more times than I can take the time to say. I just wanted to thank parents/guardians for the good work you are doing at home and thank you for sharing your awesome kids with us! Stay tuned for some dance pics below and sorry in advance that I am in so many of them! :)
