Principal’s Corner: October News

September has sped by quickly at Norwood Park. Old friendships have renewed, and new friendships have formed.

Our new grade one students have quickly become Norwood Park students. I am amazed at the French I am hearing already!

Clubs and sports have started (thank you to our teacher volunteers for organizing). We encourage all students to get involved in clubs and sports. As the heat begins to lessen and cooler days are upon us we look forward to continuing our learning.
