New Years Eve - Puttin' on the Ritz

Winter Concert Highlights

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!

A Time for Giving - Thank you to all.

 A.R. Lord families, friends and supporters generously  donated cash and non perishable food items to the Food Bank during our recent winter campaign. An extra shoutout to A.R. Lord Parents - Joel F, Caitlin C, and Lisa F who donated prizes to raise funds for a PAC raffle. A total of almost $700 in cash donations and raffle proceeds were collected along with 15 boxes of food. 

Last but not least, a big thanks to Vanessa M and Gavi M for all your hard work and organization of our yummy Chocolate Lollies which brought in approximately $1000 in PAC funds which will go towards enhancements for classrooms, activities and community PAC events.

We thank all for your generosity and support of our school, charities and community this Holiday Season! 

Decorate those Gingerbread Men!

 

Run Run Run, as fast as you can! You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread Man!
