Dear Parents and Adults at Home,
This is the last weekly update of the year. To help you and your children prepare for the summer break, I have listed below a number of useful sites.
Fun family activities for the summer - this site was put together by a 10 year old girl and is full of great ideas in the Metro Vancouver area.
