The Patriot Report – June 14, 2024

REFLECTION

MR. V MADE A SPLASH AT OUR SPORTS DAY!

This week Mr. v couldn’t write a reflection because he was in the dunk tank for Sports Day!

The grand prize for collecting pledges for the Walkathon was a chance to dunk the Principal. Our students had a great time trying to dunk him, and Mr. v, though he was wet and cold, was happy that the students had fun! Thank you for braving the cold tank for us, Mr. v!
