Gr. 1 Trip to Pleasant Ridge Library


On Thursday, November 3rd, all our Gr. 1 students, their teachers and some wonderful volunteers walked up to the Pleasant Ridge Library.  They were met by Stephen Lewis S.S. Gr. 11 and 12 students (some of whom were our former students!) and their teachers.  

The high school students read their publication "The Dairy of Margaret Reaman" to our students, interspersing a few interesting details about the history of the Thornhill Woods community.  Then each student was provided with his/her own copy of the colouring book format of the publication.   Our students worked in groups, each led by a high school student and coloured in parts of the book. 

In addition, they were treated to some snacks and a juice box and then walked back to school. It was a great opportunity to partner with our high school peers and colleagues!
