Hello Grizzly Families,
We hope everyone had a fantastic weekend! Last week, our Grade 7-9 band students participated in specialized clinics where they received private lessons from professional musicians. A big thank you to Ms. Jessome for organizing such a successful event, to our staff for their flexibility in providing space, and to our dedicated students for their hard work in each session. Your enthusiasm truly made it a memorable experience!
