Dr. A.R. Lord hosts Welcome to Kindergarten

Recently, on May 29th, next year's kindergarten kids, their families and caregivers were invited to our school.  It was an opportunity to meet their future teachers, Mrs. Susie Car - the Principal,  the PAC, fellow students and families.

They sang songs, did arts and crafts, practiced writing their names, and sat down for story time with the Hastings VPL Librarian in a warm and fun environment.  Tours of the school were also given so that the children would be familiar with the school setting.

We are looking forward to having these new young students start in September 2014 at our wonderful school!
