Well everyone, it’s a bit later than we may have expected but 2013 has seen its first snow day. Hopefully everyone will have a safe day. Don’t forget there are activities to keep you busy on GLOW and the school blog. Perhaps you could visit your class page and leave a comment on what you have been doing today. Or even better, email the school a photo and we will upload it to GLOW for everyone else to see.
