The students travel throughout the school, experiencing the year’s theme from different perspectives and points of view. But we need your help! Parent volunteers are needed to help with the planning leading up to the day, and to run the activities on Enrichment Day which will take place on Friday, May 11th. Our first general meeting will be on Friday, January 26th at 8:15am in the MultiPurpose Room.
