You might call this a heads-up ~ although there may be many jerseys seen on the south shore tomorrow, no, it is not Jersey Shore.
REACH School kicked off the year with a corn roast and its annual meeting, both over the past week, giving parents plenty of opportunity to see the school and classrooms and meet with their childrens' teachers, the staff and the new school principal.
Tomorrow the beginning-of-the-year fun stuff continues, as students will be wearing their favourite sports jerseys in recognition of National Jersey Day, which is an offshoot of Sports Day in Canada.
Next Friday, Sept 23, will be the school's Terry Fox Run/Walk. And the following week REACH will be going apple picking!
Plenty of energy and excitement around the school as usual this year and, as always, the students are so anxious to embrace learning in the secure and supportive environment provided at REACH!
