We had a great afternoon yesterday during Winter Play Day! The weather was perfect, and the students all had so much fun playing at the various stations. The hot chocolate was also a big hit! Thanks to AMPA for funding the hot chocolate station and volunteering to pour and mix over 300 cups! The students also really enjoyed the music that DJ Chris played for everyone. The team effort to create such a successful event did not go unnoticed. Thanks so much to everyone who contributed! Will your child be returning to Alex Munro School in 2024-25?
