HAPPY SPRING BREAK

Thank you to the Grade 4/5 Teachers and Students for coordinating such a great Spirit Week!
The dress up days were fun. Thanks for thinking up such creative ideas! We appreciated being able to buy snacks each day.

The basketball game afternoon was awesome! All students showed great Stevenson spirit! Way to go Sabres!
