Principal's Report What a fun day last Friday was! With everyone wearing lots of fantastic hair styles and the special “hair-cutting” event at assembly, it was wonderful to hear about the results of the fundraising efforts by Mrs. Sascha Opperman towards cancer research, via Carrie’s Beanies 4 Brain Cancer Foundation.
