Students in grades 3-5 Immersion had a unique learning opportunity this week. They were lead by professional wood carver, Charles "Woodchuck" Bernard, through a series of wood carving learning sessions. Each student and teacher were trained how to create a wood carved end product over a four day period. It was amazing how quickly everyone learned to carve and it was a wonderful learning experience for all!

Mme Gallant created a memorable experience for GG Alumni Boys' Basketball players as they took a walk down memory lane. They were invited to play in a Alumni game vs our boys' basketball team and had a great time!
