Wow!

On Wednesday, three very industrious R17 students, as part of their Riverways, held a bake sale. They raised $195.40!
Today they presented our classroom with the wet day games they bought for us! THANK YOU girls! YOU ARE AMAZING.

Daniel's Differences poem

Major Differences 2.0

Whenever

Your friends are laughing,

My friends feel sad.

When your friends are excluding,

My friends feel obsolete, unwanted.

Your friends are judging,

My friends are crying.

We all have warmth in our hearts,

Some bigger than others.

So you should think before you act.

By Daniel Nieuwenhuize.
